HIDDEN CRISIS: THE FULL EXTENT OF CALLUM HUDSON-ODOI’S ACHILLES INJURY REVEALED BEFORE KICKOFF
Nottingham Forest face West Ham with Hudson-Odoi sidelined and John Victor injured. Will Matz Sels save Sean Dyche’s squad? Analysis.
Nottingham Forest still aren't sure if Callum Hudson-Odoi will be fit in time for their big match against West Ham United on Tuesday night.
This one matters a lot. Only four points separate the two teams, and with Forest sitting 17th, a win in London could give them some much-needed breathing room in the fight to stay up.
But Forest is in a bad spot. They've lost four in a row, and Hudson-Odoi missed Saturday’s 3-1 defeat at Aston Villa because of a sore Achilles. No one knows yet if he’ll be ready for West Ham.
“We’ll have to wait and see,” Sean Dyche said. “He couldn’t even make the bench on Saturday. His Achilles is still sore.”
Forest also has to manage without Chris Wood (knee) and Ryan Yates (hamstring). Ibrahim Sangare and Willy Boly are both away at the Africa Cup of Nations. The one bit of good news? Ola Aina finally came back from a long injury layoff and played against Villa.
But then, just when it looked like things couldn't get worse, their keeper, John Victor, went down with a calf problem—right after a mistake gifted Villa their third goal. He signalled he was hurt and left the pitch in tears.
Dyche had stuck with John in goal, even though Matz Sels was back from injury and ready to go. Sels, last year’s Golden Glove winner, had been waiting on the bench. Now, it looks like he’ll get his chance again.
Still, Dyche doesn’t want to label anyone as his clear No. 1 or No. 2. Before Saturday, he thought John deserved to keep his spot. “It’s been a really close contest between those two,” Dyche said. “I talked to both of them about it. John had done enough in my eyes. Early on against Villa, he made a brilliant save. It’s just really unlucky for him, and for us, that the mistake happened.”
If Forest wants to pull clear of the drop zone, Dyche knows everyone has to step up. The performances haven’t been good enough lately, and they can’t keep making the same mistakes, especially up front.
“It’s not about one player—it’s about the team. I’ve never built teams around a single player. It takes the whole squad,” Dyche said. “And it’s not just about this game against West Ham. There are more league matches, Europa League games, and the FA Cup. The squad’s mentality is what matters.
“I haven’t doubted the group’s mentality since I arrived. But we have to stop making these errors, and we need to be more dangerous in the other team’s box.”
CHAMPIONS LEAGUE OR CHAMPIONSHIP? CAN SPURS ACTUALLY ACHIEVE BOTH IN ONE SEASON?
Tottenham faces a financial disaster! Discover why relegation could cost Spurs £150M in TV money and a bizarre European scenario.
Tottenham are dangerously close to the relegation zone as they get ready to face Arsenal. If the worst happens and they actually go down, a football finance expert warns the fallout could be huge.
Last season, Spurs barely escaped the drop, finishing 17th. Things haven’t improved this year. Thomas Frank started the season in charge, but after a string of terrible results, he’s already out. The team still hasn’t won a league game at home in 2026.
Now Igor Tudor’s in charge, and the North London derby is coming up at their own stadium. Even though it feels almost impossible to imagine Tottenham getting relegated, the risk is still very real.
Kieran Maguire, who knows his way around football finances, broke down what Tottenham would face if they keep sliding and end up in the Championship. He even pointed out a weird possibility about European competition.
“We could end up in a totally bizarre situation,” Maguire told Football. London, “where Spurs win the Champions League this season, qualify for next year’s competition, but play in England’s second tier.”
Putting that strange scenario aside, Maguire says there’s one upside: the stadium is more than just a football ground now. The events and entertainment side of the business would keep going, even if the team drops down a division.
But losing ticket sales would sting, and the hit to revenue would be massive. Last season, Spurs brought in around £600 million. Maguire doesn’t see any way they could match that in the Championship. “They’ve got a lot of debt, too,” he said. “One year outside the Premier League is rough. By my numbers, they owe over £300 million in unpaid transfer fees to other clubs. Someone’s got to cover that.”
TV money would also nosedive. “Last season they made about £190 million from TV,” Maguire said. “If they go down, even with parachute payments, that drops to around £45 million. That’s a huge drop. Less money in, but still big bills to pay – especially for players they’ve already signed but haven’t finished paying for yet. It’s a mess.”
There is one thing working in Tottenham’s favour, though. Their wage bill is much lower than the rest of the so-called Big Six – about £100,000 a week on average. That helps a bit, since the squad costs less to maintain. Plus, there are incentives in the contracts to push players to perform. Still, if the worst case plays out, the owners would have to step in and put up more money themselves.
"NOT A PENALTY": FORMER KEEPER ROB GREEN DEFENDS REFEREE AFTER BOWEN ANKLE CLIP CONTROVERSY
West Ham's survival fight gets tougher: Discover why the 95th-minute penalty was denied and analyse Nuno's tactical mistakes.
Sam Barrott made the right call when he didn’t give West Ham a penalty against Bournemouth on Saturday.
The match at London Stadium, yeah, that one on February 21 got really tense in the 95th minute. Jarrod Bowen had a chance, set up by Crysencio Summerville, but sent his shot wide. Right after, Adrien Truffert clipped Bowen on the ankle. The thing is, by the time Truffert actually made contact, Bowen had already taken his shot.
Rob Green, who used to be West Ham’s goalkeeper, didn’t think it was a penalty either. He pointed out that Truffert only put a bit of pressure on Bowen, nowhere near enough contact for a spot-kick.
Nuno Espirito Santo has a few things to answer for after that draw. This was a match West Ham really needed to win; if they’d gotten all three points, they would have caught up with Nottingham Forest, who sit in 17th.
Honestly, the game was pretty flat. Both teams seemed more interested in not making mistakes than actually attacking. Summerville and Taty Castellanos tried to make something happen, but in the end, the 0-0 draw felt inevitable.
During the match, Green said on BBC Radio 5 Live, “This was the chance West Ham was waiting for. Truffaert just put enough pressure on Bowen. I can’t see how it is a penalty. It was enough pressure without there being enough contact.” Hard to argue with that.
A lot of West Ham fans are probably frustrated with Nuno’s choices. He waited until the 72nd minute to bring on Callum Wilson and only swapped Mohamadou Kante for Soungoutou Magassa late on. Adama Traore stayed on the bench, which surprised plenty of people.
Now, after dropping two points at home, West Ham fans are right to worry a bit. The schedule doesn’t get any easier. Next up, they go to Anfield to face Liverpool. Then it’s a trip to Craven Cottage to play Fulham. After the FA Cup, they’re up against Manchester City and Aston Villa. It’s tough to see where the wins are coming from.
With just 11 games left, those two points they missed out on could end up making a huge difference in the fight to stay up.
