Joins Forest Mangala joined Nottingham Forest from Stuttgart on Sunday.

Impact Mangala helps round out the midfield for a recently promoted club which didn't have many quality options until recently. With one goal scored and three assists recorded in each of the last two seasons, Mangala hasn't put up huge numbers, so it may take a change in his role to really see a difference made. At the least, he should fit in nicely to his new side's formation, which relies more on wing-backs and three center-backs just as his last team did.

Four goal contributions again Mangala scored once and provided three assists during the 2021/22 Bundesliga season.

Impact Mangala earned four goal contributions for the second season in a row as he had a nearly identical campaign. In both 2020/21 and 2021/22 Mangala had eight shots on goal, one goal, three assists, as well as four yellow cards in either campaign. The central midfielder is the picture of consistency, though he isn't a nailed-on starter. Mangala found himself on the bench in two of the last three matches, including once as an unused substitute, a trend he will look to avoid heading into the 2022/23 season.

Questionable on Saturday Mangala (thigh) is questionable for Saturday's clash with Gladbach, according to manager Pellegrino Matarazzo.

Impact Mangala could play Saturday, but it will be a last minute decision according to Matarazzo. The midfielder isn't going to be rushed back into starting XI and Stuttgart are being careful to avoid aggravating the injury. Mangala has been in individual training most of the week, so there is a chance he is on the bench Saturday.

Impact Mangala is training individually and could be back Saturday against Gladbach. The midfielder has slowly been ramping up his work and if he could return to team training in any capacity he could be in line for the bench Saturday. Mangala is unlikely to be rushed back to the starting XI on Saturday, even if he gets to team training.

Impact Mangala started all 24 of his appearances for the club last season, so he should be in contention for a spot on the pitch once up to full match fitness. Barring any setbacks Sunday, the midfielder could rejoin the starting XI as early as the club's Sept. 19 matchup with Bayer Leverkusen.

Sidelined with thigh issue Mangala is expected to miss Saturday's matchup with Freiburg after picking up a thigh injury.

Given the midfielder started all 24 of his appearances for the club last season, in which he registered one goal on 26 shots (eight on target), three assists and 10 crosses (one accurate), he should be back in the starting XI once given the all-clear.
