Forest Face Selection Dilemmas Ahead of Glasner's Selhurst Park Return

Nottingham Forest could make several changes to their starting lineup for their trip to Selhurst Park to face Crystal Palace on Sunday, October 11. Manager Oliver Glasner goes up against his former club following his appointment at Forest, with his side looking to bounce back from a 1-0 defeat against Coventry before the international break.

Among the potential alterations is Ibrahim Sangaré's return to the midfield. James McAtee is expected to retain his place after a string of solid performances, while Dan Ndoye could once again get the nod over Igor Jesus in attack. Morgan Gibbs-White is likely to feature just behind central striker Liam Delap. In defence, Glasner is expected to stick with his regular back three of Ousmane Diomande, Jair Cunha, and Murillo.

Crystal Palace have selection headaches of their own. Jean-Philippe Mateta remains a major doubt with a hamstring strain, Ismaïla Sarr is ruled out due to a groin issue, Chadi Riad is still recovering from knee surgery, and defender Axel Disasi serves a suspension.
