Nottingham Forest have kicked off the 2024/25 Premier League season in impressive fashion. The Reds secured a 3-1 victory against Leicester at the King Power Stadium, positioning themselves seventh in the Premier League standings.
Chris Wood shone brightly for Forest, scoring two goals and earning accolades from Alan Shearer. Ryan Yates also contributed with a goal for the Reds.
A meticulous approach to the transfer window focused on quality rather than quantity has paid off for Forest. The addition of Nikola Milenkovic for a bargain £12 million has significantly bolstered the team’s defense.
During the half-term break in Nottinghamshire, Forest delighted young fans by offering them a sneak peek into a training session at the City Ground. Nuno Espirito Santo led the players through their paces in preparation for their upcoming match against West Ham.
Unfortunately, key players like Morgan Gibbs-White and Elliot Anderson were absent from the open training session. Gibbs-White was seen without his protective boot, hinting at potential progress in his recovery. Anderson, on the other hand, was reported to be undergoing a recovery session with coaches at the training ground.
With the possibility of Gibbs-White missing the next game, Anderson may once again be tasked with filling the void in the number 10 position. Despite Forest’s strong squad, the team cannot afford another injury in a crucial position.
As Saturday’s match approaches, Espirito Santo may opt to handle Anderson with care, considering the heavy workload he has shouldered in recent games. While Gibbs-White’s availability remains uncertain, Anderson’s form and fitness are essential for Forest’s continued success on the pitch.
