New Morgan Gibbs-White injury update sparks anxiety over Nottingham Forest return..

Nottingham Forest supporters have growing concerns Morgan Gibbs-White will not be passed fit to face Crystal Palace.

Forest have been forced to contend with an injury to their captain, sustained in the last match against Chelsea, over the international break. With the club’s Premier League return delayed compared to some rivals – the game against Palace is scheduled for Monday night – there is hope he will make it back in time.

“I hope for the best,” Nuno Espirito Santo said, however a new update spotted by fans is striking fear of the worst outcome – that Gibbs-White will not recover in time to line up against the Eagles.

The update in question is a video posted to TikTok by the No.10’s girlfriend Britney De Villiers on Wednesday evening of the pair together. It showed him balancing on crutches with a protective boot over his right foot.

If he does prove to be unavailable for Palace of course other options will have to be explored. The natural answer would seem to be to hand Elliot Anderson a start in his favoured central creative midfield role, but there is fair possibility of mixing up the attack by playing any one of the wing talents out of position.

Nuno is also waiting on a positive fitness update for goalkeeper Matz Sels before Monday, who like Gibbs-White was forced to pull out of international duty over the October break.
