Oliver Glasner names Nottingham Forest XI for City Ground bow against Leeds | OneFootball

Oliver Glasner has named his Nottingham Forest XI for his competitive City Ground bow, as Leeds United visit in the Premier League opener, three pm kick-off.

As reported by Nottingham Post, the Austrian wants Forest competing higher up the table after last season’s relegation fight, but accepts it will take time. Pre-season has helped since he replaced Vitor Pereira last month.

The former Crystal Palace boss sticks with a back three. Jair Cunha starts ahead of Ousmane Diomande, joining Nikola Milenkovic and Murillo in front of goalkeeper Matz Sels.

Ola Aina and Neco Williams take the wing-back roles. James McAtee partners Ibrahim Sangare in midfield.

Dan Ndoye and Morgan Gibbs-White support striker Igor Jesus. The bench includes John Victor, Diomande, Callum Hudson-Odoi, Nicolas Dominguez, Chris Wood, Arnaud Kalimuendo, Schlager, Luca Netz and Zach Abbott.
