Morgan Gibbs-White Sends Message About Injury in Forest Win Against Chelsea
Vitor Pereira hopes Nottingham Forest’s medical team can get Morgan Gibbs-White ready after a collision left him bandaged and bleeding.
Nottingham Forest secured a 3-1 victory against Chelsea on Monday at Stamford Bridge, though midfielder Morgan Gibbs-White suffered a significant head injury during the match.
Manager Vitor Pereira rotated his squad for the Premier League fixture to preserve energy ahead of Thursday's Europa League semi-final second leg against Aston Villa.
Gibbs-White required treatment after a 66th-minute collision with goalkeeper Robert Sanchez, sustaining a deep forehead cut requiring at least ten stitches.
Pereira confirmed the midfielder avoided a concussion but stated the medical department must work "magic" to prepare him for Thursday's match.
The Reds are currently ten matches unbeaten in all competitions and aim to capitalize on their first-leg lead to reach the Europa League final.
Nottingham Forest did good business in the hunt for relegation with a victory over a struggling Chelsea: 1-3. For midfielder Morgan Gibbs White, the match ended much less fortunately.
