Gibbs-White Might Need a Face Mask to Play for Forest in Europa League Semifinals Against Villa
Morgan Gibbs-White is in pain and may need a face mask after a collision with Robert Sanchez, leaving him doubtful for the return leg.
- Nottingham Forest manager Vitor Pereira said Wednesday that midfielder Morgan Gibbs-White is in "pain" and may require a protective mask to play in Thursday's Europa League semifinal second leg against Aston Villa.
- Gibbs-White sustained a deep cut on his forehead colliding with Chelsea goalkeeper Robert Sanchez during Monday's Premier League victory at Stamford Bridge, forcing him off the field 20 minutes after entering as a substitute.
- Forest leads 1-0 after last week's first leg thanks to Chris Wood's penalty, seeking their first European trophy since winning the European Cup in 1979 and 1980 under manager Brian Clough.
- Winning the Europa League secures direct qualification to the Champions League, while Braga currently leads Freiburg 2-1 in the other semifinal ahead of their return match.
- The final decision on Gibbs-White's availability rests with Pereira and the medical staff, a critical factor as the midfielder vies to secure a spot in England's World Cup squad.
