Nottingham Forest are set to face Crystal Palace on Monday night in the Premier League, and a video that surfaced online has been worrying fans ahead of the clash.
Nuno Espirito Santo has had to deal with a number of injuries already this season at Nottingham Forest.
The likes of Ibrahim Sangare and Danilo both suffered long-term injuries earlier on in the campaign, and are now set to return around the New Year.
Despite these setbacks, Forest have managed to spearhead a push for the top half of the table, with tenth position currently being occupied.
Up next in the Premier League is Crystal Palace who have looked a completely different side to the one that finished the season so strongly in May.
Interestingly, one thing has been worrying Forest fans ahead of the clash, as a video surfaced online involving a star player.
Nottingham Forest star wearing crutches and a protective boot
Matz Sels was forced to withdraw from international duty with Belgium at the start of the international break due to an adductor issue.
Now, Sels been given a 75% chance of featuring against Crystal Palace from Ben Dinnery.
However, he’s not the player who was seen on crutches recently.
Morgan Gibbs-White‘s girlfriend Britney De Villiers posted a video of the pair on her TikTok account on Wednesday afternoon, showing the Nottingham Forest star in crutches and a protective boot.
The pair appear to be in London shopping on what looks like a day off for the Englishman.
Morgan Gibbs-White’s importance to Nottingham Forest
Morgan Gibbs-White has been the heartbeat of Nuno Espirito Santo’s side since he took charge.
Forest’s only loss of the season came against Fulham recently, and it is the only game Gibbs-White has missed this season after being sent off against Brighton.
Taiwo Awoniyi and Chris Wood were paired together at the pinnacle of the attack, but they just couldn’t get any service.
It has been stated that Gibbs-White has a 50% chance of playing against Crystal Palace, and it was reported that he’s in contention for the clash but it remains to be seen if he’ll make it.
