Morgan Gibbs-White made an instant impact during his mini cameo for England against Greece, as he grabbed an assist just minutes after being substituted on.
Nottingham Forest have been without Morgan Gibbs-White for parts of their current Premier League campaign, and they’ve faired fairly well with Elliot Anderson stepping in.
The midfielder suffered an injury picked up against Chelsea and was handed a one-game suspension for his reaction to his sending-off against Brighton.
He returned against West Ham and looked like he hadn’t missed a minute with a very accomplished performance, but there were signs of fatigue against Newcastle at the weekend.
However, he looked back to his normal self on the international stage for England against Greece, and this is what the national media made of his cameo.

How the national media reacted to Morgan Gibbs-White’s England performance against Greece

Guardian commented.

The Express said.
7/10 – ‘Got the assist for Jones’ late third.’

Morgan Gibbs-White’s performance in numbers against Greece
Morgan Gibbs-White may have only played 11 minutes, but he still managed to put his imprint on the game with a nicely taken assist for Curtis Jones’ goal.
He had just six touches, made one key pass and lost both his duels.
It’s valuable experience for the Nottingham Forest midfielder who will no doubt still be building up his fitness after a period out at the City Ground.
Eyes now turn to England’s next fixture at Wembley against the Republic of Ireland on Sunday, where he could be in line for a start if Lee Carsley decides to mix things up.
