Impact Gibbs-White's participation in the Leicester City match is uncertain, as he continues to nurse an ankle injury. A fitness test will likely be given to determine his status. If he is ruled out, Elliot Anderson may remain in the attacking center midfield, with Anthony Elanga keeping his starting XI slot for Nottingham.

James Ward Prowse - Back from ban Ward-Prowse has cleared his suspension and is an option moving forward.

Impact Ward-Prowse has cleared his suspension after one match out, with the midfielder now eligible to play again. He started in the four matches before his suspension and should likely return to that spot for the club's next match, forcing Nicolas Dominguez back to the bench.

Morgan Gibbs-White - Back from suspension, still hurt Gibbs-White has cleared his suspension but is still dealing with an ankle injury.

Impact Gibbs-White is eligible to play again after his one-match suspension and could return Friday to face Leicester City. However, he has yet to be cleared of his ankle issues, possibly missing out again due to his injury. That said, it will likely be a close call for the game, coming down to a fitness test. If fit, they will hope for him to start, as he is a crucial player who has yet to miss a start when available. On the contract, if left out, expect Anthony Elanga to remain in the starting XI with Elliot Anderson taking Gibbs-White's spot as the central attacking midfielder.

Matz Sels - Incredible in win Sels recorded seven saves and allowed zero goals in Monday's 1-0 win against Crystal Palace.

Impact Sels stopped all seven shots he faced and came away with a huge win and clean sheet during Monday's clash. The goalkeeper was incredible throughout and had a strong man of the match showing. With a lackluster defense in front of him, Sels will need to be at his best to keep producing clean sheets in the Premier League.

Callum Hudson-Odoi - Brought off injured Hudson-Odoi was injured and subbed out in the 84th minute of Monday's 1-0 win over Crystal Palace. He recorded two shots (zero on goal), three crosses (one accurate) and one chance...

Impact Hudson-Odoi came off late in the second half, with Taiwo Awoniyi coming on in his place. Hudson-Odoi is more of a wing option than Awoniyi, though if Hudson-Odoi is ruled out for an extended period of time that could shift Forest's formation. Hudson-Odoi will need to be assessed before a Friday trip to Leicester.

Elliot Anderson - Four shots in win Anderson had four shots (two on goal), five crosses (three accurate) and three corners in Monday's 1-0 win versus Crystal Palace. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 60t...

Impact Anderson was held off the scoresheet, but he piled on the shots, crosses and corners. The midfielder was crucial to everything on both sides of the ball, and was involved in all aspects of the match. He's been rotated in the second half frequently, but Anderson should remain a locked-in starter as long as he stays fit.

Chris Wood - Scores winner Wood scored one goal to go with four shots (two on goal) and one chance created in Monday's 1-0 win over Crystal Palace.

Impact Wood put together another efficient performance, this time scoring the only goal in the match. The striker has been in form to start the season and is scoring consistently, even with limited volume. It remains to be seen if he can keep that efficiency going, but at the moment he's clearly established himself as the top striker.

Matz Sels - Starting in net Sels (groin) is in the starting XI for Monday's match against Crystal Palace.

Impact Sels is back with the club for Monday's match after going down during the international break with a groin injury, returning to the starting XI to face Palace. He has started in every match this season and should remain in that role if fit.

Forest owner gets stadium ban after Fulham tunnel incident. Nuno touchline ban for Brighton red card

The owner of Nottingham Forest has been given a five-match stadium ban in the latest sanction against the Premier League club in recent weeks

OCTOBER 18 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Matz Sels - Picks up injury Sels was forced to withdraw from the Belgian national team over the break due to a groin injury, according to James Quinlan of Nottingham Shire Live.

Impact Sels was forced to remain in Nottingham during the international break, not traveling with Belgium due to an injury. No further update has been given on the severity or a timetable for a return, leaving his availability for Monday's match against Crystal Palace in jeopardy. That said, he will likely see a late fitness test to decide if he is an option, with Carlos Miguel as his probable replacement if unable to compete.

OCTOBER 18 • ROTOWIRE

Morgan Gibbs-White - Suspended Monday Gibbs-White has been handed a one-match ban by the FA, and will miss Monday's clash with Crystal Palace.

Impact Gibbs-White got into an altercation with an official after he was sent off against Brighton, and he's now been handed a one-match ban. The forward was also dealing with an ankle issue, so the hope will be that he can serve the ban and get fit before an Oct. 25 trip to Leicester, though the ankle injury could be more severe that a single match out.

OCTOBER 18 • ROTOWIRE

Elliot Anderson - Major role immediately Anderson has started all but one match in the Premier League since signing with Forest.

Impact Anderson hasn't been a consistent option to go the full 90, but he's started all but the very first match with the club. The midfielder also has an assist while creating five chances. He's played in a variety of roles on the left wing, as well as in holding midfield, giving him a variable outlook week-to-week.

OCTOBER 15 • ROTOWIRE

Alex Moreno - Busy with new club Moreno has started four matches in a row since joining Nottingham Forest.

Impact Moreno was a late addition for Forest, but he's immediately taken on a major role. Moreno has started four matches in a row and seems to be established as the top choice at left-back. He's yet to create a chance in a far less potent Forest attack.

OCTOBER 15 • ROTOWIRE

Neco Williams - Dropped to bench Williams came off the bench in four straight matches before the international break.

Impact Williams opened the season with three starts in a row, but has since been relegated to the bench. New signing Alex Moreno seems to be a consistent starter on the left-flank, which has opened Ola Aina to take over as the starting right-back.

OCTOBER 15 • ROTOWIRE

Ola Aina - Major role continues Aina has started all seven Premier League matches, creating four chances before the international break.

Impact Aina has been active at both left- and right-back, and has been a solid defensive option in either role. He doesn't offer much going forward, but he does have a solid defensive floor. He's also been involved in two clean sheets in the opening seven matches.

OCTOBER 15 • ROTOWIRE

Ryan Yates - Back starting Yates started and went the full 90 in three of the final four matches before the international break.

Impact Yates has been active in every single Premier League match, starting three of the opening seven. The midfielder may not be the every-day starter he once was, but he remains a key part of the first team. It seems his role could increase in the coming weeks as well, especially on the back of two solid appearances in a row.

OCTOBER 15 • ROTOWIRE

Taiwo Awoniyi - Relegated to bench Awoniyi has made just four appearances (one start) before the international break.

Impact Awoniyi has been left on the bench for the most part throughout the opening stages of the Premier League. The forward hasn't kept up with the stellar form of Chris Wood, and has fallen almost entirely out of favor. He has yet to provide a single goal contribution as well.

OCTOBER 15 • ROTOWIRE

Murillo - Remains starter Murillo has played every minute in the Premier League before the international break.

Impact Murillo has gotten the start and gone the full 90 in every single Premier League match, while creating four chances and piling on clearances. The defender remains a key part of the starting XI, and should be one of the first names on the team sheet in all competitions.
