Forest were comfortable throughout the first half, but on the stroke of half-time, Neco Williams handled Jefferson Lerma’s goalbound effort to see red from the referee.
Ismaila Sarr tucked home the spot kick, and that proved to be the end of the scoring, with Forest having the best chances in the second half despite being a man down.

Callum Hudson-Odoi posts injury update
Following the game, Hudson-Odoi has taken to Instagram to speak about the reason he went off to a certain extent, and the prognosis doesn’t feel overly positive.
It would appear that Hudson-Odoi has an issue with his arm and has posted a photograph of himself with his arm in a sling.
It appears as though the injury was sustained following a robust tackle in the first half, and now fans will be hoping and praying it’s not something too serious.

He also posted the words ‘well then’ alongside his photo which showcased him looking pretty disgruntled to have picked up the injury.
Hudson-Odoi is vitally important to the Forest squad and the hope will be that he can get some treatment and be available when Forest play Leeds next Friday.

However, he will be confident of stepping into the breach should Hudson-Odoi be missing for a prolonged period with this latest injury.
It’s been a pretty positive season so far for the man signed for £3 million from Chelsea back in 2023, and he won’t want to be missing games for too long.
Dyche has one day left to strengthen his squad at the City Ground, and with Hudson-Odoi injured, it remains to be seen if that will be addressed in the final hours of the window.
