Nottingham Forest v Leeds United final Carabao Cup injury news, six out and two back | OneFootball

Leeds United revisit Nottingham Forest in the Carabao Cup tonight, with six players ruled out across the two squads and two back. According to yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk, both camps have late updates before kick-off.

Leeds opened their Premier League campaign at the City Ground on Saturday, winning 1-0 thanks to Anton Stach’s 88th-minute free-kick. The sides meet again in the second round tonight, 8pm kick-off.

Forest are without Morgan Gibbs-White after he sustained a knee problem against Leeds, having twisted his ankle and overstretched the MCL. There is no structural damage, but he misses the tie, with Forest working to have him fit for Liverpool on Saturday, while Nicola Savona and captain Ryan Yates also remain out.

Leeds left-back Gabi Gudmundsson is still sidelined with a muscular issue picked up in America, with a return to team training possible later this week. Willy Gnonto remains out with a hamstring strain, though he too could rejoin training in the coming days.

Ilia Gruev has only just rejoined team training after an April meniscus injury and needs at least two weeks before he is considered, so he will not feature. With key men absent at the weekend and a quick turnaround, changes could follow from Oliver Glasner and Daniel Farke.
