Nottingham Forest currently have a number of players on international duty as Premier League football is suspended until the end of the week.
It’s now a home game when it comes to the return of domestic action and fans will be looking forward to seeing Forest in action at Liverpool on Saturday.
Forest have no less than 14 players on international duty and it is hoped that all the stars will be back fit and healthy at the weekend.
Neco Williams was highly rated by Wales during last night’s 2-1 win and Morgan Gibbs-White will be hoping to get more minutes for England tonight.
Nikola Milenkovic plays during Serbia’s defeat against Denmark
Forest signed Milenkovic from Fiorentina for £12m this summer and from a business perspective it already looks like money well spent.
On Monday night, Serbia looked to build on a very impressive 0-0 draw with 2024 winners Spain when they faced Denmark in the Nations League.
However, they failed to capitalize and slipped to a 2-0 defeat to leave more questions than answers for the nation ahead of the next international break.
However, the common denominator of the two Serbian matches was the play of star player Forest Milenkovic.
While his teammates struggled, the 26-year-old at least responded to Denmark’s challenge and finished with an impressive tally.
Sofa Score gave him a 7.5 out of 10 for his performance, the highest rating of any Serbian player involved in the defeat.
Milenković showed his resilience in defense as he collected nine balls in 90 minutes on the pitch.
In the 2:0 defeat, he also made a rebound, a block and two assists.
Additionally, Milenkovic was extremely impressive with the ball at his feet, completing 95% of the 58 passes he attempted.
Milenkovic can sign a season for Forest
Signing a player of Milenkovic’s experience for just £12m must be the type of deal Forest focus on going forward.
Although the player has only made two Premier League appearances for Forest, he already looks the part.
Milenkovic left Fiorentina in the summer after helping La Viola reach back-to-back European finals and captaining the team.
The 26-year-old is now the captain of Serbia and has made 59 appearances for his country and scored three goals.
Forest were in need of a centre-back in the off-season and the club may have just scored a major bargain when they landed Milenkovic from Fiorentina.
