In a crucial match, Nottingham Forest manager Nuno selects his team to play West Ham

In a crucial match, Nottingham Forest manager Nuno selects his team to play West Ham.

 

 

The previous game, Forest lost frustratingly to Newcastle United at home. They fell by a score of 3-2 for the sixth time this season, despite twice coming back thanks to goals from Anthony Elanga and Callum Hudson-Odoi.

 

 

Willy Boly, Ibrahim Sangare, and Ola Aina—the Africa Cup of Nations finalists—have reconnected with the team since last weekend. Nuno, however, disqualified the three players from today’s match earlier in the week, and Chris Wood and Gonzalo Montiel are still out due to hamstring ailments.

 

The Reds manager alters his starting lineup twice. Ryan Yates and Moussa Niakhate are dropped to the bench, and Danilo and Felipe enter the game.

 

 

In the middle of the defense, Felipe will line up next to Murillo and ahead of goalie Matz Sels. Nuno Tavares and Neco Williams continue to play left back and right back, respectively.

 

Danilo will play in midfield alongside Nicolas Dominguez. Hudson-Odoi, Morgan Gibbs-White, and Elanga will provide Taiwo Awoniyi with support at the top of the pitch, much as they did the previous Saturday.

 

Forest: Hudson-Odoi, Gibbs-White, Elanga; Awoniyi; Williams, Felipe, Murillo, Tavares; Dominguez, Danilo; Sels. Turner, Kouyate, Toffolo, Yates, Niakhate, Reyna, Origi, Omobamidele, and Ribeiro are the substitutes.
