Here’s the latest Nottingham Forest news on Friday, November 18, 2022.
Yates sent message
Ryan Yates has arguably been Nottingham Forest's player of the season after making the step up to the Premier League in impressive fashion.
The 24-year-old's ability has consistently been questioned since he broke into the the first team in 2019 after loan spells at Barrow, Shrewsbury Town, Notts County and Scunthorpe, meaning he has now played at every level from the National League to the top flight.
Now the man who gave him his chance in the first team, former manager Martin O'Neill, says Yates has all the character traits he would want to see in his son with comments which highlight why the last five bosses have backed the midfielder.

Gibbs-White’s response to Lingard
Morgan Gibbs-White has responded to a documentary released by Nottingham Forest teammate Jesse Lingard about his mental health struggles.
The former Manchester United man has teamed up with Channel 4 to film a story where he opens out about his mental health and the difficult times he has gone through. The documentary, called ‘UNTOLD’ is available to stream on All 4.
Lingard announced the availability of the documentary with a post on social media, where he hopes sharing his story will help others struggling with their mental health to open up. My ‘UNTOLD’ story launches today on All 4,” he wrote on Instagram.
Forest man prompts World Cup demand
Canada fans have called for Nottingham Forest loanee Richie Laryea to be named in the starting lineup for their World Cup opener against Belgium next week.
The full-back is currently on loan with MLS side Toronto after signing on a season long-loan back in the summer. The move back to America came just six months after a move to the City Ground .
Laryea arrived in Nottingham from Toronto back in January, but made just five appearances for the club before returning stateside on a temporary deal. He will now be looking to gain a place in the Canada starting XI for the upcoming World Cup in Qatar.
Midfielder makes transfer admission
Sao Paulo midfielder Pablo Maia has admitted that it would be a ‘dream’ to play in Europe amid January links to Nottingham Forest and Fulham.
The 20-year-old has caught the eye with his performances in Brazil this season after coming through the youth team. He made a total of 32 appearances in the Brazilian top division, prompting interest from a number of clubs around Europe.
Reports last month claimed that Forest were ready to step up their interest ahead of the January window. It was reported that the Reds would be willing to pay close to the asking price for the youngster in order to beat off competition from Premier League rivals Fulham.
