Nottingham Forest could be without up to 10 senior players for the visit of Newcastle United this evening (kick-off 8pm).
The Reds are battling to retain their Premier League status, and manager Steve Cooper has had to deal with a lengthy injury list throughout the 2022-23 campaign.
Unfortunately for Cooper, that list increased at the weekend when his side lost 3-1 to Tottenham Hotspur following a brace from Harry Kane and a goal from Heung-min Son.
While Newcastle’s injury situation is considerably better, Eddie Howe is still without a couple of key players for the visit to the City Ground.
The clash between Forest and United is a big game for both clubs. The hosts are aiming to go five points above the relegation zone, while the Magpies know a win will take them within one point of fourth place Spurs.
Here’s a look at the players that are ruled out, and those that are doubtful:
