Divock Origi - Out for a few weeks Origi will be sidelined for the next couple of weeks after picking up a hip injury, according to manager Steve Cooper. "Divock (Origi) has got a hip injury. That is going to rule h...

Impact Origi is the latest of the Nottingham forwards to go down with an injury, joining the likes of Callum Hudson-Odoi and Taiwo Awoniyi on the injury report. Origi will be set to return near the middle of November, and his absence will open up spots for Anthony Elanga and Chris Wood to step into the starting XI. The Belgian striker has only been used as a substitute this season, so his injury shouldn't affect the lineup too much.

Callum Hudson-Odoi - Set for six week spell on sidelines Hudson-Odoi will be unavailable for the next six weeks with a hamstring injury, announced by manager Steve Cooper. "Callum is out for six weeks. He's pulled his hamstring."

Impact Hudson-Odoi was delivered some bad news on Saturday, as he will now be out for six weeks due to an apparent hamstring injury. This is very unfortunate for the attacker, as he was just starting to earn time in the first team before picking up the knock. He will eye a return for the start of December as he starts his rehabilitation process. While he is out, expect Anthony Elanga and Chris Woods to earn more time, with fellow striker Divock Origi also out with an injury.

Serge Aurier - Starting against Luton Town Aurier (groin) is in the starting lineup for Saturday's clash against Luton Town.

Impact Aurier's status for this game was unknown until late in the week, but he recovered in time to crack the starting lineup. The veteran right-back will captain the side and should be a constant two-way threat.

Ryan Yates - Gets 14 minutes in draw Yates (hamstring) played 14 minutes off the bench in Saturday's scoreless draw against Crystal Palace.

Impact Yates was back in the squad Saturday following a minor hamstring tweak and he'll hope to get back to 100 percent following the break. While he started three of the first four matches this season, he doesn't have a guaranteed spot in the squad now that Nicolas Dominguez seems to be a regular in the midfield with Ibrahim Sangare and Orel Mangala.

Serge Aurier - Status unknown for Saturday Aurier (groin) is a doubt for Saturday's match against Luton Town. According to manager Steve Cooper, "Serge walked off at Crystal Palace. He picked up an injury there. The player...

Impact This was an extremely inconclusive update from Cooper, but given his injury updates in the past and that Aurier has played through issues before, there's still a chance for the right-back to feature following the international break. If not, the lineup will have some questions, as Gonzalo Montiel picked up an injury of his own over the break. If neither can go, there's a chance Neco Williams makes a surprise appearance in the XI on Saturday.

OCTOBER 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Ola Aina - Not expected to return after break Aina (strain) is expected to remain out for Saturday's match against Luton Town, according to manager Steve Cooper. "The players who were injured before that game continue to be th...

Impact This wasn't an exact update on Aina, but it appears Aina will remain out, having been out since the Sept. 23 match when he suffered the initial injury. A lot of muscle injuries last about a month and that will be the case for Aina, though it's still unclear when he'll be back in training. Harry Toffolo is again expected to step up and start at left-back against Luton Town.

OCTOBER 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Taiwo Awoniyi - Progressing well in recovery Awoniyi (groin) is "progressing well" and hopes to return to training soon, according to manager Steve Cooper. "He's not far off some training, so let's see how the next week goes....

Impact It's not much of an update on Awoniyi, as he was originally expected to miss about a month and that remains the case. Chris Wood started in the match before the break and Divock Origi could fight for time as well over the next couple contests before Awoniyi is ready to return.

OCTOBER 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Gonzalo Montiel - Suspected out with calf injury Montiel will undergo tests for a calf injury and is expected to miss time, according to manager Steve Cooper. "We'll assess it ourselves. We've seen the initial scans and it does l...

Impact Calf injuries are a bit tricky and have a wide range of timelines, so this could be anywhere from a week to a month or more. Montiel hasn't seen the pitch a ton for Forest and this isn't won't help. Given the other injuries in the side, Harry Toffolo may be pushed into the starting XI at left-back for upcoming contests.

OCTOBER 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Gonzalo Montiel - Injured with Argentina Montiel was forced off in the first half of Tuesday's match with Argentina due to muscle pain, reports La Pagina Millonaria.

Impact Montiel has yet to play more than 53 minutes in a league match for Forest this season and an injury isn't going to help. He'll likely be assessed upon return to the club and given the multitude of other injuries in the side, Steve Cooper will be stressing to put together a starting XI ahead of Saturday's match against Luton Town.

OCTOBER 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Nicolas Dominguez - Starting regularly of late Dominguez has started in each of Nottingham's last three Premier League matches, tallying one goal.

Impact The central midfielder has gone the full 90 twice in that span, and the lone game in which he didn't feature until the final whistle was when he scored against Brentford in a 1-1 draw on Oct. 1. Dominguez has now started in four of his first five appearances with the Trick Trees, and it seems likely that he'll remain in the XI as long as he remains healthy.

OCTOBER 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Serge Aurier - Hoping to recover over break Aurier did not join Ivory Coast and is hoping to recover from a groin issue over the international break, reports Afrik Foot.

Impact Aurier had to get an MRI after the Crystal Palace match in which he struggled the majority of the first half. While the MRI showed some sort of injury in his groin according to the Ivory Coast coach, it doesn't sound like a major one that will keep him out. He's played through minor injuries in the past and a full two weeks of rest could be beneficial for him ahead of the Oct. 21 game against Luton Town.

OCTOBER 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Orel Mangala - Playing over break Mangala (knock) started and went 64 minutes in Friday's match with Belgium over the international break.

Impact Mangala has dealt with some minor knocks the first couple months of the season, but none of them have been overly serious and he was again on the pitch for Belgium over the international break. He expects to remain there for Forest going forward, as he's turned into maybe their most reliable defensive midfielder. Of course, in this role he has no shots on target and just three chances created in seven starts.

OCTOBER 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Moussa Niakhate - Available to face Luton Niakhate will be in contention versus Luton Town on Oct. 21, having served his one-match suspension

Impact Niakhate was making only his second start of the season when he found himself booked tice in just 56 minutes. Whether the defender breaks back into the starting XI will likely depend on the health of Serge Aurier (groin), Ola Aina (strain) and Nuno Tavares (strain).

OCTOBER 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Willy Boly - Logs eight clearances versus Palace Boly had two off-target shots, made three tackles (two won), eight clearances and two interceptions and helped his side to keep a clean sheet during Saturday's scoreless draw again...

Impact Boly was rock-solid at the heart of the defense for his side, making life impossible for opposing forwards and being key for his side to keep their second clean sheet of the campaign. With 5.7 clearances per game, the center-back has the seventh best average among all EPL players in that category.

OCTOBER 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Morgan Gibbs-White - Fills stat sheet versus Palace Gibbs-White had two off-target shots, created four chances, sent in 10 crosses (three accurate) and made two tackles (both won) during Saturday's scoreless draw against Crystal Pal...

Impact Gibbs-White was Forest's top performer on the offensive end, generating most of his side's dangerous play and hitting the post with a one-timed lob over the goalkeeper during the first half. The attacker had season highs in both chances created and crosses here and will have an even bigger fantasy impact once he starts appearing on the scoresheet more frequently.

OCTOBER 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Matt Turner - Keeps clean sheet versus Palace Turner made two saves and kept a clean sheet during Saturday's scoreless draw against Crystal Palace.

Impact Turner had another solid performance in the net and also had help from the defensive line in front of him that made life very difficult for opposing forwards. This was the second clean sheet of the season for the goalkeeper, who will try to keep it up during next Saturday's home clash against Luton Town.

Orel Mangala - Exits with knock Saturday Mangala was forced off in the final minutes of Saturday's match against Crystal Palace with a knock.

Impact It didn't seem like a major injury for Mangala, so the hope is that he'll recover over the break and possibly get minutes with the Belgium national team. Mangala has started all but one match for Forest this season and expects to maintain that role out of the break unless this issue turns into something bigger.

OCTOBER 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Serge Aurier - Doesn't make it to second half Aurier picked up a knock in the first half of Saturday's match against Crystal Palace and was subbed off at the break.

Impact Aurier battled through the issue for almost half of the first half, but he couldn't continue and was replaced by Gonzalo Montiel on Saturday. Aurier seems to always have some kind of knock, but he'll at least have the international break to recover and get somewhat closer to full health, assuming this isn't a major injury.

OCTOBER 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Taiwo Awoniyi - Out with groin injury Awoniyi is not in the match day squad to face Crystal Palace due to a groin injury.

Impact Awoniyi is set to miss "up to a month" with the injury according to manager Steve Cooper. The forward is a big miss for Forest as Chris Wood will be the likely starting number nine moving forward, as he is on Saturday.

OCTOBER 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Ola Aina - Out against Palace Aina is not in the match day squad to face Crystal Palace on Saturday.

Impact Aina misses out on his second straight match as he continues to recover from a muscle strain. Harry Toffolo starts at left wing-back for Forest on Saturday.

OCTOBER 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Nicolas Dominguez - Fit to start Dominguez is fit and in the starting XI for Saturday's match against Crystal Palace.

Impact Dominguez returns from a hamstring injury in time to start for Forest on Saturday. It'll be the third straight start for the midfielder with Dominguez coming off his first Premier League goal last time out.

OCTOBER 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Ola Aina - Status unclear Aina (strain) is a doubt to get on the pitch before the international break, according to manager Steve Cooper. "I don't think we'll see Nuno until after the international break, a...

Impact Aina is a doubt for the final match before the international break, a Saturday trip to Crystal Palace. Harry Tofolo could see some more minutes during that match if Aina is unable to get back on the pitch for Saturday's trip.
