Ibrahim Sangaré

Analysis: Sangare has been unable to earn a place in the squad for Sunday's clash against Newcastle United after remaining an unused option off the bench in Thursday's match, with manager Vitor Pereira again turning to Elliot Anderson and Nicolas Dominguez to form the central midfield pairing as the injury continues to limit his availability. The midfielder had started in his previous four appearances before his two-game absence, making his continued unavailability a frustrating development for a side heading into the final stretch of the season. His situation will be monitored closely in the coming days as Nottingham hope to have one of their midfield regulars back available before the campaign draws to a close.

Available off bench Thursday

Sangare (undisclosed) is on the bench for Thursday's Europa League semifinal against Aston Villa.

Analysis: Sangare is set to return after a two-game absence, but he'll be an option off the bench with manager Vitor Pereira choosing to start Elliot Anderson and Nicolas Dominguez as the central midfield pairing. Sangare had started in his previous four games before missing the aforementioned two and should contend for minutes down the stretch of the season.
