Ryan Yates - Dealing with hamstring injuryYates has not played the last two matches because of a hamstring injury, according to manager Steve Cooper.
ImpactYates wasn't even mentioned prior to Sunday's match, but his hamstring apparently was bugging him against Manchester City and he didn't play against them. Cooper has often hid or lied about injuries in the past, so this isn't anything new, but it's a bad sign for Yates as the new signings have already taken over his prior role.

Nuno Tavares - Still out with muscle injuryTavares missed Sunday's match against Crystal Palace with a muscle injury, confirmed managed Steve Cooper.
ImpactTavares suffered the injured a couple weeks ago and while they said it was less serious than originally feared, that could still mean two weeks or a month out, especially if it's his hamstring. With a couple other injuries at left-back, Forest are struggling to put together a preferred roster ahead of the international break.

Ola Aina - Misses match with muscle injuryAina wasn't in the squad for Sunday's match against Brentford because of a muscle injury, manager Steve Cooper confirmed.
ImpactAina was a surprise absence Sunday and it's unclear how long he'll be out with the injury. Moussa Niakhate was forced into left-back in his absence and unfortunately picked up a red card in the process. If Aina can't play against Palace next match, Harry Toffolo is the next option to start at left-back unless Cooper opts to change formations.
