Chris Wood, the star player for Nottingham Forest, is currently dealing with an injury ahead of their upcoming match against West Ham. Nuno Espirito Santo, the Forest manager, has stated that further assessment is needed before determining if Wood will be able to play on Saturday. Along with Wood, other players such as Morgan Gibbs-White, Elliot Anderson, and Jota Silva are also being monitored for knocks and injuries.
Despite the injury concerns, it is reported that Wood is expected to take the field at the City Ground. Anderson, who has been in impressive form for Forest, is also receiving treatment for a foot injury but is working hard to be available for the weekend match. Santo emphasized the importance of making the right decisions in terms of player fitness and availability.
Nottingham Forest has been the surprise team of the season so far, sitting in seventh place in the Premier League table after nine games. With only one loss and a victory against Liverpool under their belt, Forest has exceeded expectations. In contrast, West Ham is currently in 13th place but showed promise by defeating Manchester United in their last outing, leading to the sacking of their manager, Erik ten Hag.
As the match between Nottingham Forest and West Ham approaches, fans are eager to see if Wood will recover in time to lead his team to another victory. Santo’s careful management of player injuries will be crucial in maintaining Forest’s strong position in the league. The upcoming game promises to be an exciting clash between two teams with contrasting seasons so far.
