Sidelined with minor muscle injury
Dominguez (muscle) missed Friday's 1-1 Premier League draw against Ipswich Town due to a minor injury but could return for the upcoming clash against Brentford next Saturday, according to coach Oliver Glasner, per Nottingham Post. "Unfortunately he has a minor muscle injury. He could be back next week."
Analysis: Dominguez was a late omission from Nottingham Forest's squad against Ipswich after picking up a minor muscular problem following Sunday's 1-0 defeat to Arsenal. The midfielder had started that encounter in place of the injured Morgan Gibbs-White, playing 74 minutes alongside Xaver Schlager and recording three tackles and one interception before being replaced by Ibrahim Sangare. Although the exact nature of his latest injury has not been disclosed, coach Glasner suggested that the issue is relatively minor and that the club is taking a cautious approach to avoid aggravating it. Dominguez could return as early as next week's encounter against Brentford, although the coach indicated that the following fixture against Manchester City represents a more conservative target for his comeback. His availability will depend on how he progresses in training over the coming days, with Sangare potentially benefiting from additional playing time if the Argentine remains sidelined.
Struggles in first season start
Dominguez recorded three tackles (zero won) and one interception in Sunday's 1-0 defeat to Arsenal.
Analysis: Dominguez recorded three tackles without winning any and added one interception across 74 minutes in Sunday's 1-0 defeat to Arsenal. He returned to the starting lineup in place of the injured Morgan Gibbs-White (undisclosed), operating in central midfield alongside Xaver Schlager as Forest attempted to frustrate Arsenal through a compact defensive structure. Dominguez contributed to the hosts' disciplined first-half performance but offered little attacking production before being replaced by Ibrahim Sangare midway through the second half.
