ONES TO WATCH

SCOTT MCKENNA

Having started every Championship game this season, McKenna offers solidity in the defence. The central defender has contributed to six clean sheets, with four of these coming in the last seven games. The 25-year-old joined Forest from Aberdeen at the beginning of the 2021/22 season and made his debut for the Reds against Huddersfield Town in September 2020.

JOE WORRALL

The 24-year-old signed with Nottingham Forest as a 14-year-old in October loan spells. After working his way through the ranks, and a successful one-month loan with Dagenham & Redbridge, the centre back made his First Team debut for Nottingham Forest against Reading in October 2016. The start of the current campaign saw him struggle with a calf injury, but since his return Worrall has made 20 appearances.

BRENNAN JOHNSON

Johnson joined the Forest Academy when he was just eight years old, working his way through the ranks, to make his professional debut for the Club aged 18. So far this season, the 20-year-old has made appearances in every game, scoring five goals and assisting a further five goals for his team. The winger has also earned six caps for Wales since making his senior international debut in November 2020.
