The defender is yet to feature under the Portuguese tactician after limping out of Sweden’s Nations League win over Slovakia during the international break because he suffered a groin injury.
“Victor returned to training but is not available for tomorrow,” Amorim said of the 30-year-old when speaking in the pre-match press conference. “Maybe the next game, he will be available.”
Though, experienced defender Jonny Evans looks set to miss out once again having not featured since starting the first game of the Amorim era against Ipswich Town last month.
“Jonny's still not training,” Amorim added. “Licha and Kobbie are returning for the team so we are prepared for the game.”
Return: Kobbie Mainoo is available for selection after serving a one-game suspension.
Left-back Luke Shaw is also confirmed to be out of the Forest game due to injury, having suffered a small setback prior to the Arsenal fixture.
