Oliver Glasner Issues Injury Warning for Nottingham Forest

Oliver Glasner has confirmed a major blow for Nottingham Forest as three players are major doubts to face Crystal Palace.

Forest return to club football on Sunday, after the prolonged international break, but not everyone will be ready to take part.

Speaking at his pre-match press conference on Friday, Glasner confirmed that Nikola Milenkovic and Igor Jesus will be unavailable for the trip to Selhurst Park.

Neither of the pair were away on international duty, making their enforced absences all the more frustrating for Forest, especially as Milenkovic had only just returned from a separate injury.

The Austrian also confirmed that Neco Williams, who played every minute for Wales during the international break, is a doubt after falling unwell in recent days.

"Nikola Milenkovic returned from an injury, played in the friendly and was all good," Glasner revealed, "But then he got a bone bruise in a duel and will miss the game. It's very painful, and he can't train.

"And the other [injured player] is Igor Jesus, who has a muscle injury in his calf, and he will be out for a few weeks it looks like, which isn't what we wanted.

"The final one is Neco Williams, he returned well and was good, he trained with us yesterday, but he didn't feel well, then he got a fever overnight, so he was not available [for training] today.

"Let's see how he recovers until tomorrow."
