Impact Sels is currently dealing with a tight groin and won't be playing midweek against Utrecht since the staff decided to let him rest as a precaution. Sels isn't a doubt for Sunday's clash against Tottenham and has mainly been a bench option in the Europa League since the start of the campaign, but his groin issue will have to be monitored to avoid any more important setback for the goalie. That said, if he had to miss some time, John will be the one starting between the posts for Forest.

Concedes three in loss Sels recorded three saves and allowed three goals in Saturday's 3-0 defeat against Everton.

Impact Sels made three saves in Saturday's large defeat against Everton, including a strong parry from a bouncing Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall drive in the first half. He could do little on the opener, which deflected off Nikola Milenkovic from close range, or on Thierno Barry's clean finish at the end of a three-on-one break. The scoreline looks harsh on a keeper who repeatedly kept Forest from a heavier loss. Sels conceded five goals in the last three games and will look to rebound against Tottenham on Sunday.

Impact Sels pulled off one of the game's key moments early in the second half with a stunning double save, first parrying Diego Gomez's effort before springing up to deny Ferdi Kadioglu from close range. He had already stopped Yankuba Minteh in a one-on-one during Brighton's fast start and generally kept the deficit at a single goal while Forest chased an equaliser. The second goal only came after a late defensive mix-up between him and Morato, leaving him helpless as Stefanos Tzimas scored. Sels made three saves on Sunday, raising his total to 43 in 13 Premier League appearances this campaign. He will look to show a better figure against Wolves on Wednesday.

Impact Sels was alert to gather an Ethan Ampadu long throw that skipped through the box early on. In the 77th minute, he parried Daniel James' curling effort as Leeds United pushed to equalize. He stayed composed on late crosses to protect the lead but still has to find his first shutout of the season for Forest. Sels will look to earn his first clean sheet of the campaign against Liverpool after the break on Nov. 22.

Concedes two in loss Sels had three saves and allowed two goals in Sunday's 2-0 defeat to AFC Bournemouth.

Impact Sels endured a difficult outing in the 0-2 loss Sunday at AFC Bournemouth. He conceded a freak "Olympico" corner swing for the opener from Marcus Tavernier, which he should have saved, and was then beaten again 15 minutes later as Bournemouth's momentum and confidence surged. The regular starter is not having a distinguishing season, he is yet to post a clean sheet and will struggle to improve upon that in Forest's next against a resurgent Manchester United.

SEPTEMBER 20 • ROTOWIRE

Concedes three goals Sels recorded two saves and allowed three goals in Saturday's 3-0 loss versus Arsenal.

Despite his work, Sels conceded three goals on Sunday, one more than in his first two games of the season when he conceded once in each. Forest's keeper was the busier of the two on a frustrating afternoon and will look for his first clean sheet of the season against Arsenal after the international break.

Shares honor for Golden Glove Sels recorded one save and allowed one goal in Sunday's 1-0 defeat to Chelsea.

Impact Going into this weekend, both Sels and fellow goalkeeper David Raya led the 2024-25 Premier League season in clean sheets. Both failed to maintain one Sunday, meaning both will share Golden Glove honors. Sels logged 13 clean sheets, which is impressive for a 33-year-old GK without multiple seasons of EPL experience and considering the Nottingham team going into this campaign. Along with 46 goals conceded, he also recorded 120 saves, which less than five Premier League goalkeepers registered.

MAY 19 • ROTOWIRE

Concedes two again Sels recorded four saves and allowed two goals in Sunday's 2-2 draw against Leicester City.

Impact Sels has conceded two goals twice across his last three appearances. Considering that Sunday marked the first time Nottingham Forest logged a point in that three-game span, it is safe to say both the team and its main goalkeeper have room for improvement. Nottingham Forest's Champions League hopes are not dashed just yet, as the team can get a spot with wins over West Ham on May 18 and Chelsea on May 25.

MAY 11 • ROTOWIRE

Allows one against Palace Sels registered two saves and allowed one goal in Monday's 1-1 draw against Crystal Palace. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 59th minute.
