Finds bench role
Yates (undisclosed) is on the bench for Saturday's clash against Liverpool.
Analysis: Yates returned to the matchday squad after coach Oliver Glasner confirmed he was fit and available following absences from both the Carabao Cup tie against Leeds United and the Premier League opener. The midfielder had also missed the final preseason friendly, and while Glasner opted against handing him a starting role immediately, his presence among the substitutes adds a useful depth option in a midfield already featuring Nicolas Dominguez, Ibrahim Sangare and Xaver Schlager.
Fit and available
Yates (undisclosed) is fit and available for Saturday's clash against Liverpool, according to coach Oliver Glasner, per BBC Nottingham Sport.
Analysis: Yates had missed a second straight competitive match after being left out for both the Carabao Cup tie against Leeds United and the Premier League opener, following an earlier absence from the final preseason friendly. His return now positions him to compete for a midfield role alongside Nicolas Dominguez, Ibrahim Sangare and Xaver Schlager as Forest looked to build depth in that area.
