Nottingham Forest striker Chris Wood is facing a late fitness test ahead of their Premier League clash with West Ham. The forward, who has been in impressive form with seven goals in nine matches, picked up a knock during Forest’s recent 3-1 victory over Leicester City, where he scored twice.
Head coach Nuno Espirito Santo is also monitoring the fitness of key players Morgan Gibbs-White, Elliot Anderson, and Jota Silva, who are all dealing with minor injuries. Espirito Santo praised Wood’s contribution, stating, “He brings something unique to our play,” highlighting the striker’s importance to the team’s attacking setup.
Anderson, who has been nursing foot pain from a previous match, received special praise for his dedication to staying available despite discomfort. The Forest boss emphasized the significance of making the right selection decisions to maintain the team’s positive momentum.
