Overview
- Nottingham Forest drew 0-0 at Sturm Graz in the Europa League as Sean Dyche made seven enforced changes, insisting the lineup was dictated by injuries, suspensions and eligibility rules.
- Dyche praised the clean sheet but lamented a missing cutting edge after Morgan Gibbs-White had a first-half penalty saved and Forest missed further clear chances.
- The manager expects a limited group for Sunday’s Leeds visit, with Igor Jesus, Taiwo Awoniyi, Omari Hutchinson and Jair Cunha available again, Elliot Anderson likely to return, and Matz Sels and Murillo set to start.
- Chris Wood and Callum Hudson-Odoi are viewed as unlikely for Leeds, with further absences including Douglas Luiz, Oleksandr Zinchenko, Angus Gunn, Dilane Bakwa and long-term casualty Ola Aina.
- Forest remain in the relegation zone and four points from safety, with Dyche stressing fitness, fixture load and recovery as priorities before the upcoming two-week pause.
