Sturm Graz vs Nottingham Forest Team News
- Sturm Graz will be without Max Johnston and Belmin Beganovic due to hamstring and ankle injuries respectively, while Alexandar Borkovic remains ineligible after being omitted from their Europa League squad. Tochi Chukwuani is suspended following his red card against Celtic, meaning Filip Rozga or Julius Beck could step into midfield alongside Jon Gorenc Stankovic, Tomi Horvat, and top scorer Otar Kiteishvili, who has netted eight times this season.
- Nottingham Forest, meanwhile, have several absentees, with Douglas Luiz expected to miss out after sustaining a hamstring injury against Manchester United. He joins Ola Aina, Dilane Bakwa, Chris Wood, and Oleksandr Zinchenko on the sidelines, while Taiwo Awoniyi, Omari Hutchinson, Jair Cunha, and Angus Gunn are ineligible for selection. Dyche may look to recall Ryan Yates or Ibrahim Sangare in midfield next to Elliot Anderson, while Morgan Gibbs-White is expected to support Igor Jesus in attack.
