Notes from Nottingham Forest’s news conference: Awoniyi’s admission

When Newcastle plays Nottingham Forest, are Gordon and Isak healthy enough to start? FPL update and injury news

Anthony Gordon and Alexander Isak won’t be available for Newcastle United’s 5:30 p.m. Premier League match against Nottingham Forest on Saturday.

Gordon was pulled off the field at halftime of last weekend’s 4–4 draw against Luton Town, and he was seen leaving St. James’ Park on crutches. The 22-year-old had a strong opening forty-five minutes and then asked to be taken off after halftime.

Until recently, Isak was playing with a groin injury, which he sustained when he asked to be replaced during the 3-1 victory against Aston Villa. He missed the match with Luton and is probably going to miss the remaining games.

Recent developments about Nottingham Forest as Nuno Espirito Santo’s team gets ready to play Newcastle United in the Premier League

Chris Wood’s hat-trick sealed Nottingham Forest’s thrilling 3-1 victory over Newcastle United in the northeast a little over a month ago.

However, the lineup he will probably choose for the clubs’ rematch on Saturday will reveal a lot about the difficulties he has already encountered in the City Ground hotseat.

To begin with, Wood is not expected to be available this weekend and might be out for up to two months.Although they were in the starting lineup on Boxing Day, Ibrahim Sangare (international duty), Ola Aina, and Gonzalo Montiel (injury) won’t be playing this weekend. Additionally, the name on the goal will be altered because Matz Sels was added during the January transfer window to replace Matt Turner as the starting goalie.

Nuno has stated at multiple press conferences that “solutions to problems” must be found. However, the victory over the Magpies demonstrated the team’s potential under the Portuguese, and they plan to strive for a repeat on the banks of the Trent. Check out the head coach of Forest’s remarks to the media prior to this weekend’s match below.

The news that Wood will miss a sizable amount of time due to injury struck the Reds a blow as soon as Taiwo Awoniyi’s return from injury gave them hope. Nuno acknowledged that he is eager for the time when he may choose between the two front men.

Awoniyi is still getting fit for the game after overcoming surgery on his groin. As he marked his return by scoring against Arsenal and then winning the FA Cup replay penalty shootout against Bristol City on Wednesday night, he has already returned to scoring goals.Nuno thinks the Nigerian has a lot more in store.

“He’s getting better. He had been absent for a while. The Portuguese stated, “He played sooner than we expected him to play.”

“I believe he can be a great help as long as he has energy.” To use him, we need to control the momentum.

“Taiwo and Chris are two completely different players.The squad must adjust to having a new striker. That would be fantastic.
