Nottingham's squad problems ahead of West Ham clash

Nottingham Forest will be without a number of first-team players for their Premier League clash with West Ham on Sunday.

The Reds have been hit by a number of injuries and suspensions, and manager Steve Cooper will be forced to make changes to his starting XI.

Among those missing for Nottingham Forest are goalkeeper Dean Henderson, defender Moussa Niakhate, and midfielders Orel Mangala and Cheikhou Kouyate.

Henderson is out with a thigh injury, while Niakhate, Mangala, and Kouyate are all suspended.

In addition, striker Taiwo Awoniyi is a doubt for the game after picking up a knock in training.

Cooper is likely to make a number of changes to his team, with Wayne Hennessey set to replace Henderson in goal and Joe Worrall coming into the defense.

Jack Colback and Lewis O'Brien could also come into the midfield, while Sam Surridge is likely to start up front in place of Awoniyi.

Despite the absentees, Nottingham Forest will be confident of getting a result against West Ham.

The Reds have won their last two Premier League games and will be looking to make it three in a row on Sunday.
