SHOCKING NEWS;Nuno Santo sack decision emerges as Nottingham Forest look forward to appoint a better head coach…
Morgan Gibbs-White faced an anxious wait to see whether he’ll be picked in the latest England squad, and Lee Carsley has now made the announcement.
Nuno Espirito Santo missed having his key man at his disposal last time out as Morgan Gibbs-White was suspended against Fulham after picking up a second yellow against Brighton.

This didn’t change his suspension though, as he sat out at the City Ground.
Nottingham Forest fans had been anxious about the prospect of the midfielder now missing out on the England squad after his suspension, and now it’s finally time to find out.
