Danilo Oliveira - Returns off bench Danilo came off the bench for the final eight minutes of Sunday's 2-0 win over Aston Villa.
Impact Danilo was reportedly back in training but not expected to play. It appears the extra day to recover Saturday was enough to get Danilo back on the pitch. Once fully fit Danilo should compete for a role in the starting XI, though after the impressive win over Aston Villa that return might be delayed until after the international break.

Moussa Niakhate - Eight clearances in win Niakhate recorded five tackles (four won), eight clearances and two interceptions in Sunday's 2-0 victory versus Aston Villa.
Impact Niakhate made his second consecutive start and provided his best defensive contribution of the season. The center-back recorded five tackles, winning four, and set a new season-high with eight clearances, helping his team achieve a clean sheet.

Orel Mangala - Scores in win Mangala scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Sunday's 2-0 win versus Aston Villa.
Impact Mangala notched his first goal of the season as he took a long-range shot in the 47th minute to extend the lead. His shot seemed to have been saved by Emiliano Martinez; however, his save bounced back into the goal. Aside from his goal, the midfielder set a new season-high with four clearances.

Ola Aina - Scores in win Aina scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) and one chance created in Sunday's 2-0 win against Aston Villa.
Impact Aina notched his first goal of the season, opening the scoring in the fifth minute with a long-range shot that found the bottom corner of the goal. The wing-back started on the right for only the second time this season since his typical left side was manned by Harry Toffolo, who departed due to injury.

Harry Toffolo - Subs off with knock Toffolo left with a knock during Sunday's match against Aston Villa.
Impact Toffolo picked up two assists in the match before subbing off in the 71st minute with a knock. The severity of the injury should be revealed in the buildup to next week's match against West Ham with Serge Aurier replacing Toffolo for the remainder of Sunday's match.

Taiwo Awoniyi - Leading the line Sunday Awoniyi is fit and in the starting XI for Sunday's match against Aston Villa.
Impact Awoniyi was a doubt to play in the buildup to the match, but has recovered in time to lead the line on Sunday. The forward has played just 21 minutes across Forest's past three contests, but has scored three goals and provided two assists in his nine league appearances.

Danilo Oliveira - Back in training but won't play Danilo (hamstring) is back in training but is not expected to face Aston Villa on Sunday, manager Steve Copper said during his pre-match press conference Friday. "Danilo is back in...
Impact The Brazilian midfielder is not taking part in full training yet, so he won't be an option to face Aston Villa on Sunday, but he's expected to return to action in the coming weeks. Danilo is in line to miss a seventh straight game. His next option to feature will come against West Ham United on Nov. 12.

Taiwo Awoniyi - Doubtful to play this weekend Nottingham manager Steve Copper said the medical staff is managing Awoniyi's injury situation, and it's uncertain whether he'll be available to play against Aston Villa on Sunday....
Impact Copper didn't provide too many details regarding the injury, other than saying it's an injury from last season that aggravated of late, and it's uncertain whether he'll need surgery down the road. Either way, losing Awoniyi for an extended stretch would represent a big blow for Nottingham since he's been the team's most prolific striker by a wide margin. He has three goals and two assists across eight appearances (six starts) in 2023/24. If he can't go Sunday, then Anthony Elanga might deploy in a more central role, while Andrey Santos could be deployed in a more attacking stance due to the team's lack of depth when it comes to attacking alternatives.

Matt Turner - Heroic despite rout Turner recorded five saves and allowed three goals in Sunday's 3-0 loss versus Liverpool.
Impact Turner conceded three goals Sunday, though that truly doesn't tell the whole story. The goalkeeper made some truly absurd saves to even keep the game marginally close. The shaky defense in front of him heavily limits Turner's clean sheet chances, but does give him some upside for a plethora of saves.

Ibrahim Sangare - Quiet day in loss Sangare had two shots (zero on goal) and one chance created in Sunday's 3-0 loss versus Liverpool. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 90th minute.
Impact Sangare didn't do much to trouble Liverpool during Sunday's loss, creating only one chance and largely playing a more holding role. It wasn't a bad showing by any means he simply never got the chance to get out of his own half. Sangare did add four tackles as he continues to pile on defensive value at the base of a midfield three.
OCTOBER 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Anthony Elanga - Three shots in start Elanga recorded three shots (one on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Sunday's 3-0 defeat versus Liverpool.
Impact Elanga returned from illness and shot three times during Sunday's loss. The striker couldn't get in behind the Liverpool backline but still threatened at times. On the whole it wasn't an exceptional showing but the fact he avoided missing any time with the illness is a good sign that he got over it quickly and is fully fit moving forward.

Chris Wood - Set for extended absence Wood is going to be out for a few weeks while recovering from a hamstring injury, manager Steve Cooper told media Sunday. "Unfortunately Woody picked up a hamstring injury," Cooper...
Impact This is the latest blow for a Nottingham side that has struggled with injuries for most of the season, and the veteran striker is set to miss at least a few weeks in the best-case scenario. Therefore, the earliest he might return to action would be around the international break, though the recovery process will outline a more precise timeline as days advance.
OCTOBER 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Taiwo Awoniyi - Plays 21 minutes off bench Awoniyi (groin) played 21 minutes off the bench in Sunday's loss against Liverpool.
Impact Awoniyi was a surprise return to the lineup Sunday and managed to put in 21 minutes, which not many expected as he was originally thought to be out a month. With Chris Wood nursing an injury of his own, Awoniyi's return comes at a perfect time after Forest went into the Liverpool match without a true striker.
