Nottingham Forest have received a timely squad boost ahead of their Premier League home match against Tottenham Hotspur this weekend. The club also confirmed ticket purchasing details for the fixture at the City Ground on Saturday.
Manager Oliver Glasner provided a positive injury update on Thursday, confirming midfielder Ibrahim Sangare is expected to be available for selection. Sangare missed last weekend's 2-2 draw with Liverpool due to a minor calf injury sustained in training. His return offers Glasner a welcome selection headache in midfield, where summer signing Xaver Schlager started at Anfield.
Glasner also revealed that new signing Daniel Munoz, the Colombian wing-back, will be available for the match. The manager noted Munoz is still building fitness after a pre-season nose surgery and needs time to settle. Italian defender Nicolo Savona has returned to partial training following a long-term knee injury and could be back in full training during the upcoming international break.
The Forest boss expressed clear satisfaction with the club's business over the summer. "We wanted to reduce the number of players because we won't be playing European football this season," Glasner said. He added, "While adding quality players with top character, and I think we achieved everything." The club made six signings, including a club-record £45m move for striker Liam Delap from Chelsea.
Forest's activity saw bids for players like Dean Henderson, Harrison Armstrong, and Trey Nyoni rejected late in the window. The departures of Morato and Zach Abbott on loan left the squad with four senior central defenders, a situation Glasner addressed by mentioning Savona and captain Ryan Yates as potential options in that role.
Ticket information for Saturday's Premier League clash at the City Ground has been released. Tickets for the match are available for purchase through official channels. The fixture presents an opportunity for Forest to secure their first win of the campaign against a Tottenham side that has also struggled early.
Nottingham Forest currently sit 15th in the Premier League table with one point from two matches, following a draw and a loss. They have scored two goals and conceded three, leaving them with a minus-one goal difference. The team is five points behind early leaders Manchester City.
Forest's search for a first victory continues after a 2-2 draw away at Liverpool last weekend. That result followed an opening day defeat to Leeds United. The team's form reads DL from their first two league outings, a start they will be eager to improve upon in front of their home supporters.
The immediate focus is firmly on the visit of Tottenham Hotspur, who are 20th in the table. The match is scheduled for Saturday, September 5th, 2026.
