Assists off bench

Yates assisted once to go with one cross (one accurate) and one chance created in Sunday's 4-1 victory versus Burnley.

Analysis: Yates came off the bench and contributed in just 14 minutes, delivering a cross to set up Morgan Gibbs-White's third goal and register his second league assist of the season. The midfielder has seen his role significantly reduced in the league this season, making only one league start compared to 18 in the previous campaign.

Suffers finger issue

Yates suffered a dislocated finger during Thursday's 2-1 defeat against Fenerbahce in the Europa League but that will not sideline him moving forward, coach Vitor Perreira said in a press conference, according to Jak Netting from VAVEL. "I think he's okay, the finger is not important to play. He has a true spirit."

Analysis: Yates was forced off at halftime in Thursday's Europa League loss to Fenerbahce after dislocating a finger. New manager Vitor Pereira said the midfielder should be available going forward, though the situation will continue to be monitored. Even if he were to miss time, it would not shake up the starting XI, as he has primarily filled a rotational role for Forest this season.
