Returns to bench
John (knee) has been included in the squad and is on the bench for Sunday's clash against Manchester United, marking his return to the matchday squad after undergoing a minor knee surgery earlier in the season.
Analysis: John had been ruled out for the remainder of the season after suffering the knee injury in January, making his return to the bench a faster turnaround than initially anticipated. The Brazilian goalkeeper made eight starts across the Premier League and Europa League before the injury struck, recording 11 saves and three clean sheets, and his presence on the bench gives Nottingham Forest a backup option behind Matz Sels for the final fixtures of the campaign.
Expected to miss rest of season
John (knee) is expected to miss the rest of the 2025/26 season, manager Sean Dyche told media Wednesday. "John Victor is injured unfortunately and has had a minor operation on his knee, so he'll be out for a little bit. We're not sure on the timescale yet... He's going to be out for a while. It's an unfortunate one."
Analysis: John suffered a knee injury in the 3-1 defeat to Aston Villa on Jan. 3 right when he was on a run of six straight starts in the Premier League. If the Brazilian ends up missing the rest of the campaign, that means George Shelvey and Angus Gunn would operate as Matz Sels' backups, though Sels would get all the starts in both the EPL and Europa League if he stays healthy. John made eight starts between the Premier League and Europa League, allowing nine goals, making 11 saves and posting three clean sheets.
