Morgan Gibbs-White sat out Forest's 18 October defeat to Arsenal by choice, not necessity, Oliver Glasner said, with Ipswich away five days later: "if this is the final game of the year, he would have played... I didn't want to take any risks."
Nicolás Domínguez made his first Forest start in the 18 October defeat to Arsenal. Manager Oliver Glasner said he wanted "players with the best energy on the pitch and Nico Dominguez always has energy."
Morgan Gibbs-White said he was fine, but Forest manager Oliver Glasner left him out against Arsenal after he felt his muscle in a few situations. Glasner would not risk a 4-6 week reinjury: "I didn't want to take any risk... I expect him being back for the Ipswich game."
Oliver Glasner: Nicolò Savona and Igor Jesus miss Forest's Premier League game with Arsenal on 18 October. Morgan Gibbs-White is doubtful; the injury "doesn't seem to be very serious". Nikola Milenković, back in training after weeks out, "could be in the matchday squad".
"I should have said score a goal." Oliver Glasner says Forest made the better chances he asked for; he forgot to tell them to take them. Chris Wood then spoke to the squad on missed chances: "there's always another one around the corner."
