    Nottingham Forest
    • Nuno is sweating on the fitness of key pair Morgan Gibbs-White and Chris Wood for Tuesday's welcome of Manchester United.
    • Gibbs-White took a knock in the FA Cup win over Brighton on Saturday, a game Wood missed due to injury sustained while on international duty.
    • Carlos Miguel is the only confirmed absentee for Nottingham Forest on Tuesday, and fitness permitting; Nuno may go for the same XI that defeated Ipswich prior to the international break.
    Manchester United
    • Patrick Dorgu returns from a ban and is expected to start at left wing-back at the City Ground on Tuesday night.
    • Dorgu's availability is a boost for Ruben Amorim, who lost Ayden Heaven to injury in the 3-0 win at Leicester prior to the international break and the youngster joins Jonny Evans, Lisandro Martinez, Amad, Kobbie Mainoo and Luke Shaw on the sidelines.
    • Centre-backs Harry Maguire and Leny Yoro may return for the midweek game at Nottingham Forest, which would be a huge boost with options at the back thin on the ground.
    • Christian Eriksen has started United's last two league games and may keep his place at Joshua Zirkzee's expense on Tuesday.
