Impact Yates remains out with an illness, though a return to training is a good sign that he could return for a Feb. 25 clash with West Ham. Danilo could see more playing time with Yates remaining sidelined for at least one more match.

Moussa Niakhate - Targeting return to full training Niakhate has yet to return to full training, manager Steve Cooper told reporters Thursday."Moussa Niakhate is closer to returning. He's not back in full training yet, but hopefully...

Impact Niakhate will be hoping to make his way back from a long-term hamstring injury though it appears a Saturday clash with Manchester City comes too soon for the defender. Niakhate's next chance to return is a Saturday trip to West Ham.

Scott McKenna - Out extended period McKenna will miss six-to-eight weeks with a hamstring injury suffered in the loss against Fulham, according to manager Steve Cooper.

Impact If it was not bad enough that Forest will be without Willy Boly, but fellow center-back McKenna will also miss an extended period. Joe Worrall will look to regain its starting role back in the absence of the defenders, with Felipe also expected to see extended run. McKenna has started 17 league matches this season and had recently returned to the starting XI after being benched.

Willy Boly - Set to miss three months Boly is expected to miss three months with a hamstring injury, according to manager Steve Cooper.

Impact Boly will likely miss the remainder of the season after suffering a bad hamstring injury against Fulham in the first seven minutes of the match last Saturday. Newly acquired Felipe from Atletico Madrid is set to be his replacement for the rest of the campaign. It's a blow for Boly, who was finally getting some time after signing from Wolverhampton at the beginning of the season.

Morgan Gibbs-White - Attempts six crosses Gibbs-White registered three shots (zero on goal), six crosses (one accurate) and four corners in Saturday's 2-0 loss to Fulham.

Impact Unsurprisingly, Gibbs-White was Nottingham Forest's best fantasy contributor in spite of the team logging another loss Saturday. Currently across 2023, he has 33 crosses (five accurate) attempted and 17 chances created across his six Premier League appearances.

Keylor Navas - Allows two goals Navas had one save and conceded two goals in Saturday's 2-0 defeat against Fulham.

Impact Despite saving a shot by Aleksandar Mitrovic, Navas allowed goals from Willian and Manor Solomon. This is not a promising output before Nottingham Forest's toughest February game, when the team is scheduled to host Manchester City next Saturday.

Ryan Yates - Nearing return to training Yates (illness) is hopeful to be back in training with Nottingham Forest by early next week, manager Steve Cooper told BBC Sport on Thursday.

Impact Yates missed last weekend's win over Leeds with an illness and will remain out for Saturday's clash against Fulham as well, but he will hope to be able to return at some point next week ahead of the Manchester City match on Feb. 18. New signing Danilo could continue in his place in defensive midfield on Saturday.

Moussa Niakhate - Training individually Niakhate (hamstring) has returned to partial training with Forest this week, manager Steve Cooper told BBC Sport on Thursday.

Impact Niakhate was pictured training on grass Wednesday and it's now revealed that he's still not a full participant in training yet. Still, he's making progress on the hamstring injury that has sidelined him since August.

Jonjo Shelvey - Close to return from injury Shelvey (calf) is close to returning to Forest, but he will likely still miss Saturday's clash against Fulham. Manager Steve Cooper said Thursday that he's "seen [Shelvey] on the g...

Impact Shelvey has been out since November with a calf injury but is now nearing a return to action after making a deadline day move from Newcastle to Forest. He will likely be a depth option in midfield once he's fully fit again.

Moussa Niakhate - Back on grass Niahkate (hamstring) was pictured on the pitch in training with Nottingham Forest on Wednesday.

Impact Niakhate is getting closer to returning from a hamstring injury he suffered back in August, although he is still doubtful for Saturday's clash against Fulham at least. He'll be competing with Willy Boly, Joe Worrall, Steve Cook, Scott McKenna and Felipe for starting spots in central defense once he's fit again.

Neco Williams - Takes shot in win Williams took a shot and won three of three tackles in Sunday's 1-0 victory against Leeds United. He also made three clearances and two interceptions in the match.

Impact Williams returned to the starting lineup Sunday for the first time in the Premier League since Nov. 5, and he played well on both sides of the ball as his side earned an important win over Leeds. Williams has mostly backed up Serge Aurier at right-back this season, but he proved that he can perform when called upon.

Morgan Gibbs-White - Takes two shots against Leeds Gibbs-White took two shots (one on target) and created two chances in Saturday's 1-0 victory against Leeds United. He also made an interception in the match.

Impact Gibbs-White was once again very active from attacking midfield on Saturday, and this was the sixth time across his last seven Premier League appearances in which he's recorded multiple shots and multiple chances created. He also has two goals and two assists in that span.

FEBRUARY 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Remo Freuler - Keeps clean sheet in win Freuler made five interceptions and won one of four tackles in Sunday's 1-0 victory against Leeds United. He also created a chance in the match.

Impact Freuler and Forest have now kept three clean sheets in their last four Premier League games to build up a six-point cushion above the relegation zone. Freuler has started each of his side's last 17 matches in the competition in midfield dating back to early October.

FEBRUARY 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Keylor Navas - Keeps clean sheet in debut Navas made four saves and kept a clean sheet in Sunday's 1-0 victory against Leeds United.

Impact Navas shut out Leeds on his Premier League debut on Sunday, his first league appearance of the season after riding the bench at his parent club PSG. He should remain Forest's starting goalkeeper at least until Dean Henderson (thigh) returns from injury.

FEBRUARY 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Brennan Johnson - Scores goal against Leeds Johnson scored a goal and created two chances in Sunday's 1-0 victory against Leeds United. He also made a clearance and won one of two tackles in the match.

Impact Johnson scored his fifth goal of the season Sunday to defeat Leeds and continue to pad Forest's six-point lead above the relegation zone. He has started every single Premier League match since the World Cup break, usually in a front-two alongside either Chris Wood, Taiwo Awoniyi (groin) or Morgan Gibbs-White.

FEBRUARY 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Dean Henderson - Still weeks from return Henderson (thigh) is "still more than a few weeks away from being back in training," according to manager Steve Cooper.

Impact This is good news for Cooper, as he won't have to decide between Henderson and Keylor Navas just yet. Henderson may not return until March and with Navas in tow, he won't have to push himself. The question will be if he can win back his starting job from Navas after the Costa Rican put in a Man of the Match performance in his Forest debut.
