NottinghamForest have acted swiftly to replace AngePostecoglou after a short and unsuccessful stint as head coach. According to TBR Football, the club are already in talks with SeanDyche, with discussions progressing rapidly and an initial deal being proposed for the former Burnley and Everton boss. The move shows just how urgent Forest's managerial crisis has become. Nottingham Forest are under crisis this season Forest have already sacked two managers this season.
I didn't speak with Ange. I didn't see him but just said I feel very sorry for him. But we said many times this is a business where if you don't win games, the consequence for all of us is exactly the same. So, sorry for him.
Forest will be without full-back Ola Aina, who has a hamstring injury, so former Arsenal man Oleksandr Zinchenko could start if he is fit enough. Midfielder Douglas Luiz is a doubt with a hamstring issue of his own. Chelsea remain without playmaker Cole Palmer who has a groin injury and remains a big loss. Maresca has many injury problems after international duty, with Liam Delap (hamstring), Levi Colwill (knee) and Mykhaylo Mudryk long-term absentees.
Emanuel Dennis has been linked with a move to West Ham United in recent weeks. However, a report from Daily Mail claims that Nuno Espirito Santo has decided against signing the 27-year-old attacker who is currently a free agent. The player terminated his contract with Nottingham Forest during the summer transfer window. However, he has not been able to find a club yet.
Leeds United are reportedly keeping an eye on a 15 million-valued Nottingham Forest star Chris Wood, as continued investment in attacking options becomes a priority for Daniel Farke's side. Wood's goal record, pedigree, and past connection to Elland Road make him a compelling target and Leeds may view the January window as the time to reignite pursuit. Wood is no stranger to Leeds. He enjoyed one of his most prolific seasons at the club before departing for Burnley in 2017.
