Nottingham Forest manager Sean Dyche will be hoping his side return from their latest European adventure with three points tucked on their back pocket. The new boss will also no doubt be hoping whatever happens at Sturn Graz this evening, they don't pick up any further injuries.
Dyche has inherited a good squad at the City Ground but he's got a growing injury list and that's not what the manager wants as he tries to instil his new philosophy on the squad and mould his side.
With an international break coming up where he can get to work with many of his players, the manager wants as many fit players as possible and that will be a hope after tonight's game ahead of hosting Daniel Farke's team on Sunday afternoon.
Forest are already without long-term absentees Ola Aina and Angus Gunn, plus summer signing Oleksandr Zinchenko and one-time Leeds-linked player Dilane Bakwa. The list has grown further with doubts over whether striker Chris Wood and Douglas Luiz will be fit to face the Whites.
Leeds are not without their own concerns for the game as clarification is sought in a potential abductor injury to Dominic Calvert-Lewin, while Jayden Bogle is doubtful at this stage due to illness. Willy Gnoto continues his recovery from a hernia operation and is not expected back until after the international break.
