Sean Dyche Feared as More Forest attacking players Failed Fitness Assessment Following Their Loss to AFC BOURNEMOUTH, Further Ass..
Nottingham Forest’s troubles deepened after their 2-0 defeat to AFC Bournemouth, with fears growing that three of their key attacking players — Morgan Gibbs-White, Ivan Jesus, and Taiwo Awoniyi — could be sidelined following failed fitness assessments. The trio, who have been instrumental in Forest’s offensive play this season, are now undergoing further medical evaluation to determine the extent of their injuries and availability for upcoming fixtures.
The loss at the Vitality Stadium not only extended Forest’s winless streak but also exposed their growing vulnerability in attack. Gibbs-White’s creativity, Jesus’ pace, and Awoniyi’s physical presence have been vital to Frank Lampard’s tactical setup, and their potential absence could force a major reshuffle ahead of next weekend’s clash.
Club medical staff have confirmed that detailed scans will be carried out in the coming days, with results expected to shape Forest’s short-term strategy. Lampard, visibly frustrated after the defeat, admitted that losing multiple forwards at once “would be a huge blow,” but urged calm as the team awaits confirmation. Fans will now hope for positive updates as Nottingham Forest look to bounce back and steady their season amid mounting injury woes.
