Toni Martínez breaks a bone — 40 days out
Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 40 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

The knee: Moritz Würdinger out for 23 days
23 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Nottingham Forest lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Charlton Athletic come back empty-handed
The bid was some way short and Nottingham Forest did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Lewis Warrington says Nottingham Forest went back on their word
“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Sam Waller puts it in writing
“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Nottingham Forest, and it is not being withdrawn.

Tempers go at Nottingham Forest
Carlos Alcaraz was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.
Boardroom23 Aug 2032
9 academy graduates step up at Nottingham Forest
Senior shirt numbers handed to boys the coaches have known since they were twelve. Most will not make it and all of them have already done the hard part.

A bad afternoon for Nottingham Forest against Chelsea
0‑2 to Chelsea, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.
In brief
- Market Nottingham Forest promote Edward Hughes from within
- Market Nottingham Forest promote Daniel Ross from within
