Nottingham Forest XI v Brentford confirmed as Sean Dyche welcomes double injury boost | OneFootball

Sean Dyche has named his Nottingham Forest line-up to face Brentford this afternoon, with Murillo and Igor Jesus back from injury in a double boost. The head coach makes seven changes after the Europa League trip to Braga.

According to Nottingham Post, Matz Sels, Nikola Milenkovic, Ola Aina and Morgan Gibbs-White keep their places as Dyche reshapes his XI.

Forest start Sels behind a back four of Aina, Milenkovic, Murillo and Neco Williams. Ibrahim Sangare partners Elliot Anderson in midfield, with Callum Hudson-Odoi and Nicolas Dominguez flanking Gibbs-White. Jesus leads the line, while new signing Lorenzo Lucca was not registered in time to feature.

The bench comprises Angus Gunn, Morato, Taiwo Awoniyi, Dan Ndoye, Omari Hutchinson, Ryan Yates, James McAtee, Dilane Bakwa and Nicolo Savona. Douglas Luiz is not among the substitutes amid reported interest from Chelsea.

Forest are aiming to respond after a dismal 1-0 defeat in Braga on Thursday, when a Ryan Yates own goal, a missed Morgan Gibbs-White penalty and a red card for Anderson capped a miserable night. Their cushion above the bottom three is down to two points following West Ham United’s win over Sunderland on Saturday.

Up front has been a priority area in this window after Arnaud Kalimuendo joined Eintracht Frankfurt on loan. Striker Lucca has arrived from Napoli on loan for the rest of the season.
