Brennan Johnson - Comes off injured against Brentford Johnson had to come out of Saturday's match against Brentford in the 65th minute after suffering an injury.

Impact Johnson is Forest's leading scorer this season with eight goals and six just in 2023 alone, so he will hope the injury he picked up in the second half of Saturday's game isn't too serious. Cheikhou Kouyate replaced him against Brentford, but Emmanuel Dennis, Jesse Lingard or Andre Ayew would be a more like-for-like swap if Johnson is indeed forced to miss additional game time.

Jonjo Shelvey - Expected to be available Shelvey has been dealing with a knock, according to manager Steve Cooper. "He was carrying a knock last week and there was one or two other things, it is not a big a drama, in some...

Impact Cooper kind of downplayed any dust up that Shelvey had last week and now the midfielder is available again. Of course, he's been relegated to a minimal role of late which has led to two appearances in the last six matches after starting five in a row. At this point, he doesn't seem to have much of a role for Forest, though that could always change in the final month.

After keeping a clean sheet in his debut with Forest back in February, Navas has been beaten in every single match he played since.

The good news is it does not sound like the injury is serious, however he will continue to be monitored and will remain in doubt for the Brentford trip.
