Douglas Luiz of Nottingham Forest receives medical treatment after going down with an injury during the Premier League match between Nottingham Forest and Manchester United at City Ground
Nottingham Forest were dealt an injury blow during the first half of their Premier League clash with Manchester United.
Midfielder Douglas Luiz was forced off with less than 15 minutes on the clock at the City Ground. He was replaced by club captain Ryan Yates.
Luiz appeared to indicate he had a hamstring problem. He received treatment on the pitch before making way.
New Reds head coach Sean Dyche had named an unchanged line-up against United. Forest went into the game in search of their first league win since the opening day of the season, when Nuno Espirito Santo was still in charge.
Dyche had triumphed in his first game at the helm. After replacing Ange Postecoglou last week, he oversaw a 2-0 success over Porto in the Europa League.
The Reds were unable to make it back-to-back successes under the new man as they followed that result up with a 2-0 defeat away to Bournemouth last Sunday. Dyche felt that was a case of after the Lord Mayor’s Show for the visitors as he lamented a flat performance on the south coast.
Forest already had a few players sidelined going into the game. They are without Chris Wood, Oleksandr Zinchenko, Dilane Bakwa, Angus Gunn and Ola Aina.
