Nottingham Forest lineup vs. Brighton: Predicted XI for Premier League clash

Sangare blow, attackers recalled: Forest predicted XI against Brighton

Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at how Nottingham Forest could line up for Sunday's Premier League clash with Brighton & Hove Albion.

Nottingham Forest manager Nuno Espirito Santo has been dealt a major blow over the fitness of Ibrahim Sangare ahead of Sunday's trip to Brighton & Hove Albion in the Premier League.

The Ivorian midfielder missed last week's 1-0 upset of Liverpool, which he was initially labelled a "doubt" for, but it has now been reported that he is facing a couple of months on the sidelines with a torn hamstring.

Sangare joins fellow midfielder Danilo in the medical bay - the Brazilian will likely be out until 2025 with a fractured ankle - while Willy Boly (calf) is close to returning but will not make the cut either.

Regardless, Santo will surely not even consider changing the backline that unexpectedly shut out Liverpool last weekend, as Ola Aina, Alex Moreno, Murillo and Nikola Milenkovic shield Matz Sels.

Ryan Yates and James Ward-Prowse are poised to form an unchanged pairing in the Forest engine room, as Morgan Gibbs-White pulls the strings further ahead; the England international has created the most chances from open play of any Premier League player this season (11).

Callum Hudson-Odoi and Anthony Elanga were both forced to make do with second-half cameos against Liverpool last weekend, but the former's sublime winner off the bench will surely earn him a recall over Elliot Anderson.

Elanga has every chance of coming in for Nicolas Dominguez too, as Santo reverts to a bit more of an attacking shape, while Chris Wood continues to keep Taiwo Awoniyi at bay up front.

Nottingham Forest possible starting lineup:
Sels; Aina, Milenkovic, Murillo, Moreno; Ward-Prowse, Yates; Elanga, Gibbs-White, Hudson-Odoi; Wood
