Manager Nuno Espirito Santo expressed optimism when asked about the midfielder's condition and availability for Monday, stating, "I hope for the best." However, following the emergence of social media footage, it appears that Gibbs-White is unlikely to start.
A video posted to TikTok by the No.10's girlfriend Britney De Villiers on Wednesday evening showed the pair together. However, the Forest star had a protective boot over his right foot as he hobbled on crutches suggesting he could not put pressure on his injury.
If Gibbs-White cannot put pressure on his foot then it is almost certain that he cannot play 90 minutes for Forest meaning they will have to replace him with the likely candidate being Elliott Anderson who has had limited starts since joining from Newcastle United.
