Liverpool face a Nottingham Forest side at Anfield in the Premier League this weekend who are fresh from being dealt two injury blows during the international break

Nottingham Forest face being without Wily Boly and Ibrahima Sangare against Liverpool at Anfield.

Those pair could join Danilo on the sidelines this weekend, who had his left ankle broken during the opening weekend draw with Bournemouth. The midfielder is out until at least December, and losing Sangare would further weaken Forest in central areas.

Nuno confirmed in his pre-match press conference that there is a doubt about Sangare after picking up a problem while on international duty with the Ivory Coast. Boly, an international teammate of Sangare's is also in the same boat after sustaining a calf injury in training.

The defender did not play in either of their Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers despite being called up. He was not named in the matchday squad against Zambia before injuring himself in training ahead of their trip to Chad. Sangare also did not make even the bench for those fixtures.

He has, though, played a part in all four of Forest's matches so far this season. After playing the full 90 minutes against Bournemouth, he started the following week against Southampton and then again against Wolverhampton Wanderers.

However, the midfielder made way for Ryan Yates around the hour mark in both. Sangare also played half an hour off the bench against Newcastle United between those two games in the Carabao Cup second round after being introduced as a substitute before missing a penalty in the subsequent shootout.

Boly has not been as involved, only playing one minute in the Premier League after completing the whole game against Bournemouth. That late cameo came after replacing Morgan Gibbs-White in the second minute of stoppage time against Southampton.

He did, though, play the full match against Newcastle, captaining the team, but did not take a spot kick once it went to penalties. Sangare was an unused substitute against his former club, Wolves, before the break.
