Nicolo Savona
22-Year-Old
Nottingham Forest
Premier
OUT
Injury Knee
Est. Return 2/6/2026
Out Sunday, timeline unclear
Savona (knee) won't be involved in Sunday's contest against Crystal Palace, but there's no clarity on how long he'll be sidelined for, according to manager Sean Dyche. "It's just a settling period for him now, over the next five to seven days," Dyche said. "We will then make another decision on whether it is going to need an intervention or not - nothing too drastic but it will keep him out for a bit of time. We will know more in the next week."
ANALYSIS
Savona wasn't involved in the 4-0 win over Ferencvaros in the UEFA Europa League on Thursday, and the Italian full-back won't be an option Sunday as well. Savona's absence won't affect many fantasy decisions, however, as he's been relegated to a backup role at right-back now that Ola Aina is back to full fitness.

Set for knee scans
Savona is unlikely for Thursday's match against Ferencvarosi due to a knee injury, according to manager Sean Dyche, per Sarah Clapson of the Nottingham Post. "Sav has got a knee situation we are having looked at. We don't think it's too serious at this time, but we have to check it out. He's unlikely to be figuring, I think. He will be seeing a specialist today, more as a secondary check to make sure it is what we think it is. It could be days, it could be weeks. We are hopefully going to find out over the next 24 hours."

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Juventus reject initial bid
Juventus have rejected Nottingham Forest's initial approach to sign Savona, according to Gianluca Di Marzio.
ANALYSIS
The Trick Trees submitted an initial offer worth around £10 million for the Italian right-back, but the Serie A club quickly rejected that. Juventus aren't opposed to parting ways with the 22-year-old, but they're not going to do business on those terms. It's unclear if Nottingham will submit a second offer for the defender.
