In the lead-up to a crucial match this weekend, Nuno Espirito Santo’s Nottingham Forest team is in danger of losing this struggle for survival to the very last minute.
With five games remaining to avoid relegation, the Reds will begin their run at avoiding the drop on Sunday when they go to Everton. After a painful 2-2 draw against Wolverhampton Wanderers at home, they will enter that game at Goodison Park with renewed motivation.
What is known: The 21-year-old was eliminated from the Wolves draw due to a small knock. With an eye on participating on Merseyside, he is anticipated to start training this week.
The statement “I don’t know” has been made. When questioned about Elanga’s potential suitability to play Everton on Saturday, Nuno responded, “I’m not sure.”
Waiting and seeing is necessary. Elganza and Taiwo Awoniyi are both making progress on their own, but they weren’t accessible today. Till the next one, let’s wait.
Nottingham Forest will be guided to Premier League safety by Morgan Gibbs-White.
The Reds captain, in the view of former Republic of Ireland striker Clinton Morrison, possesses the “X-Factor” that sets Forest apart from teams like Luton Town and other relegation contenders.
The frustrating 2-2 tie between Nuno’s team and his old team, Wolverhampton Wanderers, saw Gibbs-White score. With a crucial encounter against Everton the following weekend, Nuno’s team is now one point above the drop zone.
Morrison, a former player for Crystal Palace and Birmingham City, believes they will overcome their point deduction and remain in the league with games against the Toffees, Burnley, and Sheffield United on their schedule and Gibbs-White at the helm.
