The latest Nottingham Forest news from NottinghamshireLive as they prepare to face Leicester City and former boss Steve Cooper. Leicester manager Steve Cooper is determined not to offend either group of fans as he prepares to face his former club Nottingham Forest on Friday. Cooper was fired by Forest in December after leading them to the Premier League for the first time in 23 years and then keeping them there against the odds. The Welshman was firmly immersed in the club’s culture and had a particular relationship with the fans, who saved him from being fired twice before owner Evangelos…

According to Football Insider, Kalvin Phillips’ loan arrangement with Ipswich Town could be terminated in January. The Tractor Boys are expected to contemplate returning the 28-year-old to Manchester City early if he fails to demonstrate his readiness. Football Insider revealed on Tuesday (22 October) that Ipswich chiefs are dissatisfied with Phillips’ condition. Sources believe the Suffolk club is “amazed” by Phillips’ lack of mobility and running power, while insiders say his condition is nowhere like that of a good Premier League footballer. Senior club officials believe Phillips’ “head is still in Leeds” and that he wants to return to Elland…
Nottingham Forest will undoubtedly be missing two players for Friday night’s trip to Leicester City, and may be missing three, but will be buoyed by the return of midfielder James Ward-Prowse. The West Ham player, who is on loan at the City Ground this season, returns after serving a one-match suspension for being sent off in the 1-1 draw against Chelsea. That kept him out of Monday’s home triumph over Crystal Palace, but the 29-year-old will be available at the King Power. There is less confidence about Morgan Gibbs-White, who was also banned for his response after getting sent off…
Daniel Farke was without Manor Solomon for four straight games as Leeds United continued his Championship promotion push. Before returning to duty in a 2-0 victory against Sheffield United on Friday, October 18, the winger suffered a back injury that resulted in a hamstring injury, leaving Farke with few options on the flank. While Largie Ramazani and Wilfried Gnonto have been covering the flanks admirably, the former has just experienced a setback, emphasizing the importance of Solomon’s return from injury. Solomon told the Yorkshire Evening Post [24 October]: “I’m feeling fine, it’s behind me, and all I want to do…
Liverpool fans are out of words to laud Ryan Gravenberch after another flawless performance against RB Leipzig. On Wednesday, the Reds defeated Leipzig 0-1 away at Red Bull Arena in the third league phase of the Champions League. Liverpool has won 11 of 12 games in all competitions as the tight fixture schedule tests the squad’s limits. Gravenberch, on the other hand, has played every minute for the Reds, with the exception of the Carabao Cup win over West Ham in September. Since the start of this season, the 22-year-old has established himself as Arne Slot’s first-choice number six. Liverpool…
Nottingham Forest have made remarkable steps this season, and growth is clear after only eight games. Nuno Espirito Santo managed a strong recruitment drive this summer, and the Reds are now ninth in the Premier League table. On Monday, Crystal Palace were defeated as Forest won its third game of the season, with Chris Wood scoring five goals in eight games in 2024/25. After that game, Ally McCoist singled out Wood for praise, and Forest must now focus on their trip to Leicester City on Friday. The secret to Forest’s turnaround isn’t difficult to figure out, since the Reds are…
Dan James and Sam Byram are expected to return in three changes to Leeds United’s starting lineup against Bristol City at Ashton Gate on October 26. Junior Firpo will miss the Championship clash due to suspension, and Daniel Farke may be without Largie Ramazani, who appeared to sustain an injury in Tuesday’s 2-1 win over Watford. Mateo Joseph may also return to Farke’s starting lineup after Joel Piroe was substituted in the 72nd minute of their game against the Hornets due to his lack of effect. Dan James should get his first Leeds United start since August. Illan Meslier will…
Largie Ramazani has written an Instagram message to Leeds United fans following his injury against Watford at Elland Road. Ramazani scored the opening goal in Leeds’ 2-1 victory earlier this week, but was forced to leave the field after 10 minutes due to a challenge from Festy Ebosele. It was hoped that Ramazani’s injury was solely due to impact, however Daniel Farke later revealed in a news conference that it seems to be a twisted ankle. Ramazani’s injury comes at the worst possible time, as he had just starting to find his form, with the game against Watford being his…
Latest Nottingham Forest transfer news as emphasis turns to the January window for Nuno Espirito Santo’s Reds Ola Aina, a Nottingham Forest defender, is thought to have attracted another admirer ahead of the January transfer window. As things stand, the fullback will be out of contract at City Ground next summer. The Reds are rumored to be prepared to offer him a new long-term contract, but rival teams are keeping an eye on his status. Aina has already been connected with Roma, and fellow Serie A club AC Milan is thought to be interested in him. According to Italian magazine…
Luke Ayling appeared on Patrick Bamford’s podcast this week, and the defender stated that something the striker used to do under Jesse Marsch at Leeds United was “so bad”. Jesse Marsch’s tenure at Elland Road was not a good one. The American was in charge when Leeds nearly averted relegation in 2021-22, however this was mostly owing to Raphinha’s brilliance in the Leeds attack. Raphinha’s subsequent success with Barcelona demonstrates this. Raphinha scored three goals and led Barcelona to a 4-1 victory over Bayern Munich in the Champions League on Wednesday night. Meanwhile, Leeds are still in the Championship, thanks…
