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.

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.

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.

OCTOBER 15 • ROTOWIRE

Nicolas Dominguez - Occasional chances Dominguez has started twice and appeared off the bench three times before the international break.

Impact Dominguez hasn't been a major contributor, but he's gotten occasional chances, only going unused on the bench twice. The midfielder isn't set for any sort of major role, but he should be a key rotational option, especially with the busiest part of the schedule coming up.

Chris Wood - Scores again Wood scored one goal on his lone shot during Nottingham Forest's 1-1 draw Sunday at Chelsea.

Nikola Milenkovic - Records assist Milenkovic logged one assist using his lone chance created during Nottingham Forest's 1-1 draw Sunday at Chelsea.

Impact During the game's 49th minute, Nottingham Forest attempted a free kick. It resulted in Milenkovic heading down the floated ball to Chris Wood for his goal Sunday. Considering that the former's offensive stats since August only include three chances created, he will not be one to depend on in that regard. Defensively, Milenkovic has been much more sound, playing his part in helping Forest concede five goals across the team's last six games.

Morgan Gibbs-White - Suffers ankle injury Gibbs-White suffered an ankle injury during Nottingham Forest's draw Sunday at Chelsea, according to Paul Taylor of The Athletic.

Impact After recently being unavailable for an EPL game because of a red card, Gibbs-White may have to sit out another with an injury. He suffered his ankle injury around the game's 76th minute, which resulted in him limping off Chelsea's pitch on his own accord and getting replaced by Nicolas Dominguez. As for Gibbs-White, he will undergo a scan Monday, when his availability for England's national team is expected to be revealed.
