"It's a big question. This is not a question for me, it's a decision between the player, the medical department and myself, but we haven't had the last meeting to decide. I really don't know about Morgan, the doubts that you have are the same doubts that I have. We need to have a meeting today, see until tomorrow, and we see what we can do."
"Morgan Gibbs-White has been one of the Premier League's most in-form players. Since the start of 2026, no one in the top flight is able to match the Nottingham Forest midfielder's 16 non-penalty goal contributions with seven of them coming in March."
"But if Morgan cannot play, we start with 11, as I said every time, he is a very important player for us but we are ready to face this match. I honestly hope he can play and he can help."
Morgan Gibbs-White has been Nottingham Forest's standout performer in 2026, accumulating 16 non-penalty goal contributions in the Premier League, with seven occurring in March alone. The 26-year-old midfielder has been instrumental in Forest's push toward a potential first European final in over 45 years in the Europa League. His strong form has also positioned him for potential recall to England's World Cup squad after being omitted from recent friendlies. However, a head injury from a clash with Chelsea goalkeeper Robert Sanchez has cast doubt on his availability for the crucial semi-final against Aston Villa. Manager Vitor Pereira indicated the decision regarding Gibbs-White's fitness would involve the player, medical staff, and himself, with assessments continuing through Wednesday.
