Pressure mounting on Nuno’s brilliant PL start after new injury crisis confirmed as Key Player limp off training ground to join Danillo sidelined by ankle injury with doubtful list lengthen as BRIGHTON clash lurk in closer.
Nottingham Forest will look to extend their unbeaten Premier League run following their historic victory at Anfield. Callum Hudson-Odoi’s goal secured a 1-0 win over Liverpool on Saturday, marking Forest’s first triumph at Anfield since 1969. Next up for Nuno Espirito Santo’s side is a visit to Brighton & Hove Albion this Sunday (2pm kick-off).
However, the joy from last weekend was tempered by the news of a serious injury to Ibrahim Sangare. Below is a rundown of Forest’s current injury situation.
**Danilo**
**Injury:** Broken ankle.
**Update:** Danilo suffered a broken ankle just eight minutes into the new Premier League season during the 1-1 draw with Bournemouth. After undergoing surgery last month, he is expected to return to training by December. Although the clean break should aid his recovery, it will still take time for him to regain full fitness once he rejoins the squad.
**What Nuno said:** “The surgery went well. Now, we have to be patient. He’s not allowed to put weight on it yet, and we don’t want to rush him. He needs time to settle down.”
**Ibrahim Sangare**
**Injury:** Hamstring.
**Update:** Sangare is expected to be sidelined for at least two months due to a hamstring injury. He underwent surgery on Saturday, the same day his teammates were beating Liverpool. The injury was identified in tests after he returned from international duty with Ivory Coast.
**Willy Boly**
**Injury:** Calf.
**Update:** Ivory Coast manager Emerse Fae revealed that Boly sustained a calf injury in training prior to their match against Chad. The 33-year-old was sent back to Forest to recover and missed the game at Anfield.
**What Nuno said:** “We were without three important players: Boly, Ibrahim, and Danilo. Boly’s recovery will take some time, but he should be back soon.”
