Forest starting XI confirmed
Kalimuendo makes his first Forest start
Seven changes from Saturday’s match
Nottingham Forest’s starting XI for the Reds’ second away Europa League fixture against Sturm Graz has been confirmed.
Sean Dyche has made seven changes from the side that started Saturday’s 2-2 draw with Manchester United at the City Ground.
Summer signing Arnaud Kalimuendo makes his first Forest start in central Europe, while John Victor, Morato, Ibrahim Sangaré, Ryan Yates, Nicolás Domínguez and James McAtee also start for the Reds.
John starts in goal, making his first Forest appearance since September. Nicolò Savona and Neco Williams start the match in the full-back berths.
Morato partners Nikola Milenković at the heart of the defence, while Sangaré partners captain Yates and Domínguez further into midfield.
Behind Kalimuendo in attack for Forest are Morgan Gibbs-White and McAtee.
On the substitutes' bench meanwhile, Dyche has handed places to six Forest Academy products.
