Latest Fulham vs Nottingham team information
Fulham will be without Reiss Nelson due to a recurring thigh injury. He joins Kenny Tete (knee injury) and Harry Wilson (broken leg) on the absentee list.
Raul Jimenez, Fulham's top scorer this season with 11 goals in all competitions, including eight at home, is fighting to regain his starting place, but Muniz's brilliant form, including a brace against Wigan, has also given Silva pause.
New signing Willian, who has returned to Fulham on a free transfer, is in line to play, but Adama Traore and Alex Iwobi are likely to be relied upon on the flanks, while Emile Smith Rowe could take on the attacking midfield role.
On the other side of the front line, Nottingham Forest also suffered losses in terms of force when reserve goalkeeper Carlos Miguel (hamstring injury) and striker Taiwo Awoniyi (concussion/broken nose) both suffered injuries during the week. Carlos Miguel is definitely unable to play, while Awoniyi's ability to play is still uncertain.
Callum Hudson-Odoi has returned to training after a three-match absence with a groin injury and could feature against Fulham, while Murillo is also hoping to recover from a foot problem.
Forest will welcome back Ola Aina, Nikola Milenkovic, Neco Williams and possibly Morato in defence. Elliot Anderson is expected to make a return in midfield, while Morgan Gibbs-White and Anthony Elanga will provide cover for key striker Chris Wood, who scored a hat-trick against Brighton to take his Premier League tally to 17 goals this season.
Latest expected lineup for Fulham vs Nottingham
Fulham:
Leno; Castagne, Andersen, Bassey, Robinson; Lukic, Berge; Traore, Smith Rowe, Iwobi; Jimenez

Latest Fulham vs Nottingham football review
Fulham are enjoying a positive February with two 2-1 away wins against Newcastle United in the Premier League and Wigan Athletic in the fourth round of the FA Cup.
Rodrigo Muniz's double helped Fulham overcome Wigan, thereby setting up a clash with Manchester United in the fifth round of the FA Cup on March 1. Before entering that important match, coach Marco Silva's team will focus all their efforts on three consecutive Premier League matches, facing Nottingham Forest, Crystal Palace and Wolves respectively.
Currently in ninth place, Fulham are still in contention for a European place next season, just four points behind the top seven, five points behind the top five and seven points behind the top four with 14 games remaining. However, to realise that ambition, they need to improve their home form, where they have won just one of their last seven games at Craven Cottage, including disappointing draws against Southampton (0-0) and Ipswich Town (2-2).
However, Fulham still have reason to believe in a good result when hosting Nottingham Forest, because they have won 4 out of the last 5 encounters between the two teams in the Premier League, including two home wins with a total score of up to 7-0.
On the other side, Nottingham Forest have been in impressive form over the past 10 weeks. Except for a heavy 0-5 loss to Bournemouth at the end of last month, they have won 8 of their 10 Premier League games, along with 2 wins in the FA Cup. Notably, Forest's strikers have scored at least 2 goals in 9 of those 10 games.
After thrashing Brighton 7-0 in the league, Forest went on to overcome Exeter City in the fourth round of the FA Cup via a lucky penalty shootout after the two sides drew 2-2. They now face three crucial games ahead, against Fulham, Newcastle and Arsenal, as they look to consolidate their place in the top four and open up a six-point gap over Man City and Newcastle behind.
Nottingham Forest's defence has been one of the bright spots this season, conceding just 27 goals - the third-fewest in the league - and keeping 10 clean sheets - the same as Liverpool. More remarkably, they have kept five clean sheets in their last eight games.
However, preventing Fulham from scoring will not be an easy task for Forest, as they have lost 9 of the last 12 meetings between the two teams and have kept just 1 clean sheet in 14 matches over the past 9 years.
