‘Really close’: Nuno espirito Santos provides triple Nottingham forest injury update ahead of Brighton

Nottingham Forest’s impressive start to the season sees the Reds sit comfortably in the top half of the table.

   Sunday will present Forest with another chance for three points after winning their first two away games at the City Ground.

   Nuno Espirito Santo must be happy with the start of the new season, as he already has eight points.

   The start has not been smooth in terms of injuries, however, as the Reds have already dealt with a number of worrying issues.

   Nuno provided the injury news ahead of this weekend’s game on the south coast as Forest look to maintain their unbeaten start.

   And there is one actor who has made strides behind the scenes.

   Nuno Espirito Santo reports on Willy Boly’s injury

   After starting the opening game of the season against Bournemouth, Willy Boly played just one minute more in the other three games.

   The centre-back proved himself in the game against Southampton, with Nuno trying to seal the three points.

   However, he missed the game against Liverpool at the weekend as Boly picked up an injury while away on international duty.

   Speaking ahead of Forest’s trip to the Amex Stadium on Friday, Nuno gave the latest on Boly’s injury.

   – The same player is out.    [Willy] Boly is really close to joining the band.    Unfortunately, Ibrahim Sangare and Danilo are out for a while, he told BBC Sport.

   Although Boly will not be available for the game against Brighton, it is a huge boost for those at Forest.

   Nottingham Forest managed to maintain their unbeaten start

   Few would have expected Forest to start their campaign unbeaten in their first four games.

   It is clear that the Reds have something going for them on the road, as they achieved both victories away from home.

   And Forest will have another few days off at the Seagulls with Brighton in Carabao Cup action on Wednesday.

   But the Reds’ pressure eased for the weekend after a sensational start from Nuno’s men.
