Nottinghamshire

Chelsea forward Cole Palmer, Manchester United duo Kobbie Mainoo and Marcus Rashford, Arsenal midfielder Declan Rice and Newcastle defender Tino Livramento have pulled out of England's squad for forthcoming Nations League matches.

Everton midfielder James Garner and Nottingham Forest captain Morgan Gibbs-White have been called up by manager Thomas Tuchel and will join the squad on Tuesday.

Tuchel said on Friday that 26-year-old Gibbs-White, who has six international caps, was close to being included in the initial squad.

Palmer had been recalled by Tuchel after being controversially left out of England's World Cup squad, but has withdrawn with a minor injury.

Mainoo and Rashford were assessed by their club after being taken off in the closing stages of Sunday's 1-1 draw at Fulham.

Rice, who played the full game for Arsenal in their 3-0 defeat by Brighton, will also be unavailable to Tuchel, along with Livramento, who has been limited to three substitute appearances for Newcastl this season.

Like Gibbs-White, Garner - who made both his two senior England appearances in March - comes in after not being selected for the 2026 World Cup.

Nottingham Forest fans will have to trawl back through their memories to April 2026 to recall their last victory on home turf.

Since beating Aston Villa 1-0 in the first leg of the Europa League semi-final, Forest have failed to register another win in six home games across two seasons and under two different managers.

Although Oliver Glasner left Crystal Palace with a spring in his step after lifting the Conference League trophy, the Austrian has endured a slow start to life with the Reds.

Former Forest midfielder Steve Hodge told BBC Radio Nottingham: "I understand the anger, frustration, and I get it. I have not been thrilled at home with what I have seen in terms of creating chances and exciting the crowd.

"The three home games this season, I can't count three or four chances in those games which were clear chances."

So far, only Coventry City (one) and Tottenham (two) have scored fewer goals than Glasner's side in the opening five league games of the season.

"Balls are put into the box, and Coventry headed every ball and they got every second ball. It was just the same again. It was a bit like watching the Spurs game and Leeds game again.

"I don't sit here and think it is going to come. They do struggle.

"Coventry sat in their 18-yard box, their back five with two in front of them, and any ball put in the box there was a blue and white shirt close to it. They defended magnificently."

We asked for your thoughts after Saturday's Premier League game between Nottingham Forest and Coventry City.

Here are some of your comments:

Forest fans

Gary: It hasn't clicked at home for Forest yet but it will soon. Munoz doesn't look, at the moment, like the attacking threat that he was at Crystal Palace, so there's more to come there. Hudson-Odoi's return would be a welcome boost. Then the goals will come.

Andrew: Can Forest play all of their games away this season? And they want to increase the size of the stadium to 52,000. Most fortresses are made of stone or brick. This one is made of straw.

Graham: There will be plenty more of that to come. We are now in 12th, which is about as high as Glasner gets. The tactics are not working and there was no plan B. We were too slow out at the back and showed no fight. Subs were too late - we were losing, and he brought on a defender.

Martin: Lacklustre display by Forest. Too slow in the build-up, passing was way off it and devoid of any ideas going forward. More of this and we will be challenging Tottenham for the bottom spot.

Coventry fans

George: Just what we needed - grit, determination, a moment of quality, and a little luck! Feel-good factor will be back for the next three weeks while training fine-tunes some of the new-look tactics. Can't wait for Newcastle next.

AJ: So proud. Those players have embodied the Sky Blue never-say-die attitude and grabbed a win when everybody had written them off. We'll beat a few more this season that can't match Coventry's heart and desire.

Lee: Unbelievable! For Jay to get our first goal in the top flight since 2001 is incredible! A great display from all the defensive line and congratulations Mfuni for a great Premier League debut.

Stuart: Terrific belief and team effort, with what would not have been the starting XI had things gone differently the previous week. Confidence is key. Goal and a clean sheet is a good day's work.

There will be plenty to ponder for Nottingham Forest boss Oliver Glasner after this result.

Forest have failed to score in their first three home games in a league campaign for the first time in their history.

Their expected goals (xG) in this match was 1.15 compared with Coventry's 0.67, but in their first meeting in the Premier League since 1999 they were left to rue their wastefulness.

Forest's 24 shots today were their second most in a Premier League match since they returned to the top flight in 2022.

Similarly, only Pascal Gross (15) has created more chances in the league this season than Nottingham Forest's Morgan Gibbs-White (14).

There was a clear lack of cutting edge, which meant much of this creativity was in vain.

Delap, a £45m signing from Chelsea, was supposed to provide some ruthlessness, but none of his four shots were on target and Coventry largely kept him quiet.

Last season Forest won just four of their 19 home games and were among the fourth-worst in terms of goals scored on home turf.

Glasner identified this as a clear area for improvement at the start of his tenure, but this result was a stark reminder that there is still work to do.

Nottingham Forest boss Oliver Glasner, speaking to BBC Match of the Day on his thoughts on the loss: "Frustrated, disappointed.

"We wanted three points and the players gave everything until the end but we made one big mistake, one big ball from the goalkeeper.

"We knew he had a very big strike and we got punished. We tried everything until the end but we have to blame ourselves. It's the third home game without a goal and that makes it difficult to win.

"We have to find a solution, today was the first time I could feel the heaviness of the past, it was very quiet in the dressing room. When we conceded the goal, everyone was nervous, the entire City Ground was nervous and I think this is the reason of last year.

"There is nobody to blame, the solution is to play with more freedom and more confidence."

On the VAR decision: "Of course I have thoughts but I don't want to speak about it again.

"We had this big discussion after Tottenham, referee decided and we accept it, that's it."
