Nottingham Forest make key announcement ahead of Newcastle clash - with shock omission

Nottingham Forest have announced their squad numbers for the new 2022/23 Premier League season.

The Reds will kick-off their campaign with a trip to St James' Park to face Newcastle on Saturday (3pm). Steve Cooper has so far welcomed 12 new signings including Jesse Lingard and club record signing Taiwo Awoniyi in their push for a successful season, after their return to English top-flight following 23 years away.

The Reds are expected to offload some players during the summer transfer window, as well as bring in further additions, but that does not stop a squad list from being confirmed. The list also features 18 academy players.

Tellingly, there is no number ten allocated as Forest continue their efforts to recruit Morgan Gibbs-White who is a prime candidate to take the number if he were to move to the City Ground.
