Dan Ndoye

Analysis: Ndoye has been unable to pass the fitness testing that had been set as the deciding factor in his potential return, extending his wait for minutes despite having been unused on the bench in Thursday's UEL clash and eyeing a comeback this weekend. The winger has been working toward a return and remains close to availability, but the questions surrounding his condition have proven too significant to clear him for Sunday's contest. His inclusion in the squad appears imminent in the coming fixtures as he continues to build his fitness, with a bench role expected to be his starting point upon his eventual return.

Could return Sunday

Ndoye (undisclosed) is a possibility for Sunday's match against Newcastle, according to manager Vitor Pereira, per Sarah Clapson of the Nottingham Post. "I think Dan maybe can come back. (Today) is the day to understand the situation."

Analysis: Ndoye is still working for a return and appears to be close, as he is now eyeing a potential return Sunday. This comes after he was unused in UEL play, appearing on the bench but still looking for minutes since suffering the injury. His addition to the team will likely depend on some fitness testing, although with some questions remaining, a bench spot is likely the best he will do.
