Injury concerns mount for Forest as Gibbs-White spotted on crutches before Palace clash - Zack Oaten

The Forest captain has been out of action due to an injury he sustained during the last match against Chelsea. He is currently taking a break to recover and recuperate during the international break.

Manager Nuno Espirito Santo said,"I hope for the best," when asked about the midfielder’s condition and if he would be available for Monday, but after social media footage emerged it looks like Gibbs-White is unlikely to start. 

A video posted to TikTok by the No.10's girlfriend Britney De Villiers on Wednesday evening showed the pair together. However, the Forest star had a protective boot over his right foot as he hobbled on crutches suggesting he could not put pressure on his injury. 

If Gibbs-White cannot put pressure on his foot then it is almost certain that he cannot play 90 minutes for Forest meaning they will have to replace him with the likely candidate being Elliott Anderson who has had limited starts since joining from Newcastle United.
