Rotation Risk Almost Costs Forest in Europa League
Nottingham Forest secured a 4-2 aggregate win over Fenerbahce with six squad changes by manager Vitor Pereira, balancing Europa League progress and Premier League survival.
- At the City Ground, Nottingham Forest advanced to the last 16 of the Europa League with a 4-2 aggregate win despite a 2-1 defeat on Thursday, with Callum Hudson-Odoi's 68th-minute strike sealing their progression.
- Facing a packed league schedule, Pereira made six changes to his starting XI to prepare for Sunday's match at Brighton & Hove Albion, aiming to protect players and boost squad confidence.
- With 48 minutes gone, the visitors held a 2-0 lead, but Callum Hudson-Odoi's 68th-minute strike settled Forest's nerves and ended the comeback bid.
- Advancing to the last 16 keeps Forest in Europe while maintaining pressure in the Premier League at 17th on 27 points, two above West Ham United.
