Recent Squad Updates

The Magpies Manager Confesses Disappointing Performance

The Tyneside club performed dreadful last week versus West Ham, as their manager just admitted in his pre-match comments. “We have to produce something better. The match with West Ham proved difficult for us. We trust, we’ve learnt plenty. At this point we need to start picking up results.”

On the winger: “He was not close in the end. Medical imaging revealed a very slight issue with his hip and it’s a good chance for Harvey Barnes to come in.”

Forest Still Be Without Key Striker

Still no Chris Wood for Forest, as the goalkeeper, Murillo, Anderson and the attacker return.

Lukas Nmecha replaces the goal-shy Dominic Calvert-Lewin, who struggled at Brighton in the previous round.
