That being said the affect of this tournament will be felt, but thankfully, the winter transfer window is open. How will AFCON change the course of Forest\u2019s January recruitment, and also performances during the month?<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s2\">Undeniably, African players are a staple of Nottingham Forest\u2019s squad &#8211; some of the best players to have graced the City Ground pitch for years are from the continent, losing them is\/was always going to be a huge loss.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s2\">Since 2022, following promotion to the Premier League, Nottingham Forest have added a large number of African players to their \u2018Quota\u2019 &#8211; the majority of which have been integral in Forest\u2019s survival in the division, losing them at this stage in the season will no doubt be detrimental.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><strong><span class=\"s3\">Who will Nottingham Forest lose to AFCON?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s2\">The following players will leave due to the African Cup of Nations tournament being on, and following their selection to represent in the tournament: Serge Aurier, Willy Boly, Ibrahim Sangar\u00e9, Moussa Niakhate, Cheikhou Kouyat\u00e9 and Ola Aina. Six players out of seven African players within the squad heading to AFCON, representing Nigeria, The Ivory Coast &amp; Senegal. The only African player not to head to the tournament is the Reds\u2019 star striker, Taiwo Awoniyi, who is currently sidelined with a Groin injury.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s2\">Out of the six players, four are Defenders &amp; two Midfielders, which leaves Forest a bit \u2018thin\u2019 in both areas, in some respects. Below shows the senior depth Forest have due to AFCON in both Defence &amp; Midfield:<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s4\">Defenders available (during AFCON): <\/span><span class=\"s2\">Joe Worrall, Scott McKenna, Murillo, Andrew Omobamidele, Felipe, Gonzalo Montiel, Neco Williams, Harry Toffolo &amp; Nuno Tavares.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s4\">Midfielders available (during AFCON): <\/span><span class=\"s2\">Orel Mangala, Nicolas Dominguez, Morgan Gibbs-White, Ryan Yates, Danilo, Brandon Aguilera.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s2\">Specifically, Forest\u2019s defence has been hurt the most, losing four defenders, two senior centre-backs also &#8211; replacing them will be difficult. Boly considered to be the best Centre-back available, Niakhat\u00e9 in top-form, it\u2019ll be interesting to see if there is perhaps a formational change given the lack of personnel now available.<\/span><span class=\"apple-converted-space\"><span style=\"font-family: 'UICTFontTextStyleBody',serif;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><strong><span class=\"s3\">What will Forest\u2019s team potentially look like during AFCON?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s2\">This is the perplexing part &#8211; Nuno has started to gain momentum with his side, African players are a key part of that, and as of now, the depth isn\u2019t quite up to the level needed, I feel. Worrall &amp; McKenna both touted for a departure this winter, clearly out of favour, and Omobamidele without any game time since joining Forest on deadline day last summer, Murillo, for me, is the only clear starter out of the Centre-backs available.<\/span><span class=\"apple-converted-space\"><span style=\"font-family: 'UICTFontTextStyleBody',serif;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s2\">Formation wise, I couldn\u2019t be sure as to if the 4-2-3-1\/4-3-3 played previously will change. The reasoning for a change would likely be down to the personnel available, Nuno has come similar at Wolves, where he typically played a 3-4-3.<\/span><span class=\"apple-converted-space\"><span style=\"font-family: 'UICTFontTextStyleBody',serif;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s2\">Nuno has had only two weeks to look at his defence, and its clear as to who he wants to pick (usually Niakhat\u00e9\/Boly &amp; Murillo as CB\u2019s), so AFCON comes at a slightly awkward time, that being said, Worrall &amp; McKenna do have a level of Premier League experience, so they are still options.<\/span><span class=\"apple-converted-space\"><span style=\"font-family: 'UICTFontTextStyleBody',serif;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><strong><span class=\"s3\">What does the AFCON period look like?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s2\">From January &#8211; February, during the AFCON tournament, Nottingham Forest will play five games, with one of those being in the FA Cup this Sunday against Blackpool.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s2\">In the Premier League, Forest will play Brentford, Arsenal, Bournemouth &amp; Newcastle, two are at home, two away.<\/span><span class=\"apple-converted-space\"><span style=\"font-family: 'UICTFontTextStyleBody',serif;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s2\">A tough period for the Reds losing some key players, but also a \u2018nod\u2019 to January recruitment ahead of a tough run of fixtures coming up &#8211; Forest fans specifically can be grateful to some degree for a less-congested fixture list.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img  title=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-15622\" src=\"http:\/\/www.nottinghamsport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Jamie-Martin.png\"  alt=\"Jamie-Martin Forest Readying AFCON Exodus\"  width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/p>\n<p><em>*Article provided by\u00a0<\/em><em><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ImJamieMartin\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Jamie Martin<\/a><\/em><em>\u00a0(Head Nottingham Forest Correspondent).<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>*Main image\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NFFC\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">@NFFC<\/a> Forest will lose Moussa Niakhate to the Africa cup of Nations.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nottingham Forest: The AFCON affect\u00a0 With just over a week until the African Cup of Nations starts, Nottingham Forest can probably thank those who make the English football calendar for very limited games in January.
