Logs assist in loss
Bakwa assisted once to go with two shots (zero on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one corner in Saturday's 3-1 loss against Aston Villa. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 65th minute.
Analysis: In what marked his third appearance back from a two-month absence Bakwa, recorded his first goal contribution of the season by feeding a through ball to Morgan Gibbs-White, who buried a shot from the right side of the box in the 61st minute. Additionally, this marked the first time since his return that Bakwa recorded double digits in completed passes, while he is also up to three shots over the last two games.
Travelling with squad
Bakwa (hamstring) is travelling with the team to Utrecht and should return in Thursday's Europa League clash, coach Sean Dyche said in a press conference, according to Jak Netting from Vavel. "He is in the squad, and then we'll make a decision on it [whether he plays]. Bakwa's still coming back from an injured period."
Analysis: Bakwa should be back available for Thursday's Europe League clash against Utrecht and could play some minutes after travelling with the squad and likely clearing his hamstring injury. That said, coach Sean Dyche seems to be cautious with him given his young age and will take no risks with him after two months on the sidelines due to his injury. Bakwa has been mainly a bench option this season for Forest and is expected to claim back a similar role once fully back fit.
