Nottingham Forest made a significant move on deadline day by signing Matz Sels from Strasbourg for €6m. The goalkeeper has been given an immediate debut by manager Nuno Espirito Santo as the team faces Bournemouth.
In addition to Sels, Forest has also made two other new signings. Gio Reyna, on loan from Borussia Dortmund, and Rodrigo Ribeiro, on loan with a view to a permanent move from Sporting Lisbon, are both named on the bench. This demonstrates the depth and quality of the squad that Forest is building.
The team has seen six changes to the starting XI from their last Premier League outing against Arsenal. Taiwo Awoniyi is handed his first start since early November, showing his return from a groin injury. However, Chris Wood is missing from the lineup due to a hamstring problem.
The starting lineup for Forest is in a 4-2-3-1 formation with Sels in goal, Williams, Omobamidele, Murillo, and Tavares making up the defense, Yates and Domínguez in midfield, and Hudson-Odoi, Gibbs-White, and Elanga in attacking midfield positions supporting Awoniyi up front.
The substitutes for Forest include Turner, Vlachodimos, Toffolo, Felipe, Niakhaté, Reyna, Danilo, Montiel, and Ribeiro, providing a strong bench and plenty of options for Santo to make tactical changes as the game progresses.
This immediate debut and formation changes show that Forest is continuing to strengthen and evolve as a team, and the new signings are expected to make a significant impact on their performance in the Premier League.
