Morgan Gibbs-White has proven to be an indispensable player for Nottingham Forest, with the team suffering in his absence during their loss to Fulham due to his suspension. Despite the controversial circumstances leading to his suspension being overturned, Gibbs-White’s injury sustained in the game against Chelsea now puts his availability for the upcoming match against Crystal Palace in question.
However, there is hope that the midfielder could potentially make a comeback if manager Nuno Espirito Santo is willing to take the risk. An injury expert has assessed Gibbs-White’s chances of playing and given him a 50% probability of taking part in the game, highlighting the significance of his creative abilities for Forest.
As the team prepares to face Crystal Palace, the potential return of Gibbs-White could provide a much-needed boost, especially considering the current struggles of their opponents in the Premier League. Despite Palace sitting in the relegation zone with just three points from their first seven games, they still possess dangerous players such as Eberechi Eze, whom Forest will need to contain. Ryan Yates may once again be tasked with neutralizing the opposition’s threats, as he did effectively against Chelsea’s Enzo Fernandez and Cole Palmer in the previous match. Should Gibbs-White be fit to play, his presence could have a significant impact on Forest’s chances of securing a positive result against Crystal Palace.
