Nottingham Forest midfielder Elliot Anderson was absent from training on Wednesday morning due to personal issues.
As the Forest squad warmed up for their session at the Nigel Doughty Academy, there was one notable absentee: Anderson.
The England international missed the session due to personal reasons, and it is currently unknown whether he could feature in the club’s Europa League quarterfinal second leg against FC Porto on Thursday.
The 23-year-old played no part in Forest’s 1-1 draw in Portugal last week, as he served a one-game ban for an accumulation of yellow cards in the competition to date.
Reds boss Vitor Pereira is expected to make changes tomorrow, with the club also just days away from a crucial Premier League battle against Burnley on Sunday.
Five Forest players will have to walk a tightrope if they feature on Thursday, with Murillo, Morgan Gibbs-White, Igor Jesus, Morato and Ryan Yates all one booking away from missing the first leg of any potential semi-final tie.
Pereira, a two-time Primeira Liga winner as Porto boss, will address the media this afternoon during his pre-match press conference, when he is expected to offer an update on the potential availability of Anderson, among other topics.
