Morgan Gibbs-White injury: Forest captain returns for Ipswich match

Nottingham Forest captain Morgan Gibbs-White is preparing to return to action after a short spell out. The player had featured in every one of the first six matches of the 2026/27 Premier League season.

Gibbs-White picked up a minor injury in the match against Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park. He was not included in the squad for the last game, a 1-0 defeat to reigning champions Arsenal, as a precaution.

Forest head coach Oliver Glasner announced that the English midfielder will be part of the squad for the Ipswich Town match on Friday evening. Glasner stressed that his captain is an important part of the team.

Glasner said the side had put in a competitive performance against a champion team without Gibbs-White, and noted that this gives the team confidence.

Glasner also said that one player cannot win a match on his own, and that he expects a strong performance from the team as a whole. Gibbs-White's return is viewed as positive news for Forest.
