Wood, Montiel – Nottingham Forest injury latest ahead of Westham clash

Nottingham Forest will hope to benefit from some valuable time on the training ground this week amid a lack of a midweek game.

The Reds are yet to register their first Premier League win of 2024 and were left frustrated by Saturday night’s 3-2 defeat to Newcastle United. They now have a big game coming up this weekend as West Ham United visit the City Ground.

Nuno Espirito Santo’s squad has been stretched in recent weeks. Below is a look at the injury state of play ahead of the clash with the Hammers.

Gonzalo Montiel

Injury: Hamstring.

What we know: The Argentine was forced off late on in last week’s FA Cup replay win over Bristol City. He was due to undergo a scan on Friday to determine the extent of the problem and did not feature against the Magpies.

What has been said: “Gonzalo felt something in his hamstring on a run in the last minutes before we took him off. He felt some discomfort,” Nuno said in his pre-match press conference last Friday. “He will have the scan at 7pm today. He is not available for tomorrow, but we will have to wait and see.”
