Nottingham Forest look set to be well represented at the World Cup this summer.
Three Brazilians are in the 55-man squad submitted to FIFA, whilst Nicolas Dominguez has made the list put in by Argentina.
🏆Three Forest players get World Cup boost!
Which of the three – if any – will make the final squad?
Morgan Gibbs-White will be hopeful of gatecrashing the England squad, which will definitely feature Elliot Anderson for his efforts over the past 18 months.
Ibrahim Sangare and Matz Sels will hope to go with the Ivory Coast and Belgium, respectively, and now two more players have got the nod for this summer’s tournament.

For a little while this season, Wood’s inclusion at the World Cup was up in the air as he battled back from a serious knee injury.
However, he’s made the cut and will link up with New Zealand as they look to make waves at this summer’s tournament.
Wood is also joined in the squad by Tyler Bindon.
The central defender arrived last summer from Reading and spent the season on loan with Sheffield United in the second tier.
He’s yet to make an appearance wearing the Garibaldi, and he will hope that a strong World Cup earns him a chance to impress during pre-season.
Wood can help Bindon settle at Forest, but first, the duo will be hoping to create headlines with the All Whites over at the World Cup.
Bindon was signed from Reading as a talented youngster, and the hope will be that he doesn’t join a list of Forest players signed who never make an appearance for the club.
With that in mind, all eyes might be on the centre-back more so than Wood at the tournament as Forest look for a clue over what type of player he might be.
Wood is already a hero in New Zealand, and the best could be yet to come at this summer’s World Cup.
