Plenty of heroes for Forest during Champions League charge

There are plenty of outstanding stars for Nottingham Forest this season.

Chris Wood, Murillo, Morgan Gibbs-White, Nikola Milenkovic and Matz Sels have all taken the headlines at times.

That is before you even get to Anthony Elanga, Callum Hudson-Odoi or Elliot Anderson.

But the strength of Forest this season is that the team, and squad, have all contributed - otherwise they would not be third in the Premier League.

Morato has made just two league starts this season - and 13 substitute appearances - but Forest have conceded just twice when he has been on the pitch, with the defender regularly used to see games out.

Midfielder Nicolas Dominguez has impressed but perhaps not been in the spotlight, while Nuno Espirito Santo was also full of praise for Wayne Hennessey, who signed a surprise new contract earlier this month.

The goalkeeper, recovering from an Achilles injury, saw his deal expire at the end of last season but he has penned a short-term contract as emergency cover.

Nuno called him a big part of Forest's goalkeeper community and it epitomises the squad dynamic the manager and club are trying to foster.
