Premier League confirm big Nottingham Forest decision after transfer deadline day blow

The Premier League have confirmed Nottingham Forest's 25-man squad for the remainder of the season.

Forest had to submit their squad to the league by 3pm this afternoon (Thursday), and there were questions over whether Lewis O'Brien would be included after his loan move to Blackburn Rovers fell through on deadline day.

It has now been confirmed that O'Brien misses out for Forest, who have filled all 25 of their spaces. Danilo and Brennan Johnson do not need to be registered, as they classify as under-21 players having been born after January 1, 2001. Summer signing Brandon Aguilera also falls into that category.

There are places for all of the new January recruits in the squad. Gustavo Scarpa, Chris Wood, Felipe, Jonjo Shelvey, Keylor Navas and Andre Ayew will all - as expected - have a big role to play in the final months of the season.

There is no room in the squad, however, for Omar Richards, Steve Cook, Lyle Taylor, Cafu or Harry Arter, several of whom failed to get January moves. Hopes are not over for them this season, though, with some international windows still open.
