Nottingham Forest XI confirmed for Europa League trip to Braga | OneFootball

Sean Dyche has confirmed his Nottingham Forest XI for tonight’s Europa League trip to Braga, making seven changes from Saturday.

Nottingham Post reports that Matz Sels, Nikola Milenkovic, Ola Aina and Morgan Gibbs-White keep their places after the 0-0 draw with Arsenal. The Reds travel to Portugal with confidence.

With two rounds of the group phase left, top-flight survival remains the priority but Forest also want to do well in Europe. A positive result would set up next week’s home game against Ferencvaros. Finishing in the top eight would send them straight to the knockouts and avoid a play-off.

Igor Jesus sustained a knock and did not travel. With Chris Wood sidelined, Taiwo Awoniyi not in the Europa League squad and Arnaud Kalimuendo on loan at Eintracht Frankfurt, options up front are limited.

Savona, Milenkovic, Morato and Aina form the back line in front of Sels. Douglas Luiz and Ryan Yates start in midfield, with Dilane Bakwa and James McAtee out wide and Gibbs-White as No.10. Dan Ndoye leads the line.

Forest XI: Sels, Savona, Milenkovic, Morato, Aina, Luiz, Yates, Bakwa, Gibbs-White, McAtee, Ndoye. Subs: Gunn, Willows, Williams, Sangare, Hudson-Odoi, Anderson, Dominguez, Abbott, Whitehall, Thompson, Sinclair, Hammond.
