What Malo Gusto did after Morgan Gibbs-White went off injured”a very worrying moment”
Nottingham Forest are facing an anxious wait to discover the extent of the injury suffered by Morgan Gibbs-White against Chelsea.
The Reds claimed a share of the spoils against a Blues outfit who had been in fine form recently, scoring goals for fun.
Gibbs-White is due to link up with England this week but he will now go for a scan on the injury picked up in West London.
The 24-year-old was returning to the team after serving a one-match suspension and the hope will be that it’s nothing sinister.
Gibbs-White picked up the injury having a shot at goal. Malo Gusto blocked the shot and it caused the Forest man to twist awkwardly.
What Malo Gusto did after Morgan Gibbs-White went off injured
This was a very worrying moment from a Nuno Espirito Santo perspective with Gibbs-White visibly in some discomfort when the moment occurred.
He signalled for treatment straight away and it’s going to be a worrying couple of days for Forest as the player goes for a scan.
From a Chelsea perspective, there can be no blame placed on Gusto and he did something very classy after Gibbs-White had received treatment.
He was keen to console the Forest man as he sat in pain on the Stamford Bridge turf and he also went up to Gibbs-White as he walked off.
Gusto was seen checking on the Forest player and wishing him well with the pair enjoying a handshake after the accidental incident.
It was a classy gesture from Gusto and a rare friendly moment during a match that got quite heated at times.
Forest need Gibbs-White fit for run of good fixtures
The Reds will be delighted to take 10 points from seven games to kick-start this campaign in the Premier League.
Ultimately, Forest must improve their horrific home form and after the break face Crystal Palace, West Ham and Newcastle on home soil before the next international break.
Forest had to do without Gibbs-White against Fulham and it was a game that proved to be a tough one for the team as a 1-0 win was secured for the Cottagers.
That just proves how important Gibbs-White is for Forest and hopefully, the club can have a contingency plan should the injury be worse than first feared.
Forest have done well to keep Gibbs-White fit since he signed for the club and now everything must be crossed in the hope that he can recover quickly from this injury.
It will also be a worry for Gibbs-White personally, as he was gearing up for his second international call-up.
