Nikola Milenkovic and Jair Cunha have missed Nottingham Forest’s Premier League game against Aston Villa on Saturday due to hamstring injuries.

Milenkovic and Cunha suffered their injuries during training on Friday and have failed to make the bench for Forest’s trip to Villa Park.

Daniel Munoz makes his full Forest debut following his £22 million move from Crystal Palace last month, while Ousmane Diomande has been handed his first Premier League start.

Speaking ahead of the game at Villa Park, Oliver Glasner explained the absences of Milenkovic and Cunha.

‘After lunch, the doctor came to me and said they don’t feel comfortable, there’s some tightness in the hamstrings, so unfortunately they don’t make it today,’ Glasner said.
