Wrexham are in great form this season, having won three consecutive matches. The team is in ninth place in the EFL Championship, the English second division, with 40 points.

The team faces several availability issues for this match, with Aaron James, Andy Cannon, Danny Ward, Elliot Lee, Kieffer Moore, Lewis Brunt and Ryan Hardie all out of the game.

Nottingham Forest: current and latest information

Nottingham Forest are not doing well this season. In the last five games, there were four consecutive defeats and one victory, in the last match, against West Ham. The team is only in 17th place, with 21 points.

For the game against Wrexham, coach Sean Dyche will be without Sangare and Boly, in the African Cup, as well as the injured Ndoye, Yates, Chris Wood and Brazilian goalkeeper John.

Although they ended their run of four consecutive defeats with a victory over West Ham earlier this week, Dyche could make several changes to his starting line-up to rotate the squad and keep them fresh for the upcoming Premier League games. As a result, players like Nicolo Savona, Douglas Luiz and James McAtee could break into the starting lineup.

Nottingham Forest’s probable lineup

Sales; Ola Aina, Milenkovic, Murillo and Willians; Nico Domínguez, Anderson, Hutchinson and Gibbs-White; Hudson-Odoi and Igor Jesus. Technical: Xabi Alonso.
