Nottingham Forest star Morgan Gibbs-White is now an England international having collected his first cap against the Republic of Ireland last weekend.

Gibbs-White was introduced for 13 minutes of the National League game and was an unused substitute at Wembley on Tuesday as England beat Finland.

The 24-year-old has waited his whole life to represent England and he completed a dream come true when he replaced Jack Grealish at the Aviva Stadium.

Gibbs-White has now returned to training at Forest. He was welcomed back with open arms as the Reds prepare for a tough-looking trip to Liverpool at the weekend.

What Nuno Espirito Santo said to Morgan Gibbs-White when he returned to Forest

As the attacker pulled into the training ground, the Forest media team were ready and waiting to have a little chat with the new England international.

The Reds performer did well during his cameo and it’s perhaps a shame that he didn’t get on the pitch as England beat Finland 2-0.

Upon his return, the footage released by the club spotted Espirito Santo waiting for Gibbs-White in reception and he was on hand to congratulate him properly.

He gave the player a warm embrace and said ‘Let’s go’ to him, implying that it was time to get down to work ahead of the next run of games.

Forest need Gibbs-White to stay focused this season

Having now made his England debut, it would be easy for Gibbs-White to get ahead of himself and that can’t be allowed to happen.

The player will know that to get back in the England setup he needs to keep producing the goods and hopefully, that’s something he can do.

Gibbs-White and the Forest head coach clearly have a good relationship with each other and this was a very nice touch on his first day back in training.

The Reds go to Liverpool in search of a stunning win and any positive result that sees Forest return with points would be deemed successful.

Liverpool are yet to concede a goal but in Gibbs-White, Forest have a player who is usually up for the challenge and hopefully, he can come up trumps this weekend.
