Injury concern for Nottingham Forest as Sean Dyche makes half-time switch against Crystal Palace

Nottingham Forest face an injury worry after goalkeeper Matz Sels was withdrawn at half-time of their Premier League clash with Crystal Palace. Scotland international Angus Gunn replaced him to make his debut at the City Ground.

According to Nottingham Post, Sels had shown no discomfort in the first period and there was no other clear reason for Sean Dyche to make the switch.

Morgan Gibbs-White put the hosts 1-0 up inside five minutes in an open first half that produced chances at both ends.

On the stroke of half-time, Palace levelled from the spot. Neco Williams was penalised for handball, the Welshman was sent off, and Ismaila Sarr converted.

At the interval Dyche also replaced Callum Hudson-Odoi with Ryan Yates as Forest adjusted to being down to 10 and back level at 1-1.
