UPDATE: Nottingham Forest is grappling with a fresh injury concern as midfielder Ryan Yates was forced off during their Premier League clash against Everton at the Hill Dickinson Stadium today. Just over 15 minutes after coming on as a half-time substitute, Yates sustained an injury and could not continue, heading straight down the tunnel in the 62nd minute.
This latest setback adds to head coach Sean Dyche‘s mounting injury woes, with Yates joining an already extensive list of absentees. The Reds were trailing 2-0 when Yates exited, following an own goal from Nikola Milenkovic just two minutes into the match and a second goal from Thierno Barry right before halftime.
With Yates sidelined, Nicolas Dominguez was brought on to replace him, but the team struggled to find their footing against a resilient Everton side. The injury crisis deepens as centre-back Murillo remains unavailable due to a hamstring issue and a virus, forcing Dyche to rely on a makeshift defense.
Dyche had opted to maintain the same starting XI that secured a win over Wolverhampton Wanderers just days earlier, but the ongoing injury concerns are severely limiting his selection options. Fans are now left wondering how this will affect the team’s performance moving forward.
