Morgan Gibbs-White cleared as Liverpool ready for Forest clash

Morgan Gibbs-White has recovered from a minor knee injury and is set to start for Nottingham Forest against Liverpool in the Premier League clash on 29 Aug 2026, according to manager Oliver Glasner. The Englishman missed his side's Carabao Cup defeat to Leeds United after twisting his knee last weekend.

Kieran Horn reported at 7:00 on 29 Aug that Liverpool face a spate of absences. Joe Gomez remains a knee problem with hopes of returning next month, while Federico Chiesa is ruled out after a small muscle injury in a pre‑season game against Como. Iraola added, “Fede is not available,” confirming the Italian’s status.

Further Forest setbacks include Ibrahim Sangare’s minor calf injury, which will keep him out of tomorrow’s game, and Neco Williams who carries a head knock. Nicolo Savona’s knee setback and lingering fitness questions around Jeremy Jacquet and Alexander Isak were also noted, though both are expected to travel.

LIVERPOOL will still field Cody Gakpo despite ongoing speculation about his future, and the club is linked with a possible signing of Bradley Barcola from Paris Saint‑Germain. The English side will need to adapt without the injured trio as they seek three points at Anfield.
