"Starting with the hosts, parting ways with Nuno Espírito Santo less than a month ago, it has been a real rollercoaster behind the scenes for Nottingham Forest. Although they might have shattered a string of long-standing records last season as they booked an iconic European return, the Premier League outfit have drastically failed to find their feet under the guidance of new boss Ange Postecoglou."
"Yet to feature since suffering a muscle injury against Arsenal on September 13th, Nottingham Forest are once again expected to be without defensive talisman Murillo. Likewise, picking up a recent hamstring issue, Juventus loanee Douglas Luiz will not feature here. Shockingly omitted from Forest's Europa League squad, big-money summer recruit Omari Hutchinson will be forced to watch from the sidelines. Settling for a spot on the bench against Sunderland last weekend, skipper Morgan Gibbs-White will be handed a full recall."
Nottingham Forest host Midtjylland in a Europa League match while Forest endure instability after a recent managerial change and a seven-match winless run. Forest recently lost 1-0 to Sunderland and drew 2-2 with Real Betis in Europe. Key defensive and midfield absences include Murillo and Douglas Luiz, and Omari Hutchinson was omitted from the Europa League squad; Morgan Gibbs-White returns to the starting lineup. Midtjylland enter as underdogs but take confidence from a 2-0 home win over Sturm Graz and recent European success, despite mixed domestic form under Mike Tullberg.
