WHAT HAPPENED?
Two United States internationals at the City Ground have not enjoyed the most productive of 2023-24 campaigns. Turner started the season between the sticks for Forest, following his transfer from Arsenal, but has lost his place to Matz Sels following a string of costly errors.

THE BIGGER PICTURE
Reyna, meanwhile, moved to England during the winter window, as a short-term loan deal was agreed with Borussia Dortmund. He had to make do with a number of substitute appearances before finally earning his first Premier League start in a 2-2 draw with Wolves.
WHAT TURNER & REYNA SAID
Reyna is hoping to keep his place for a crunch clash with Everton on Sunday, and has been put through his paces on the training ground. As he headed out for practice, Turner told the cameras that his 21-year-old compatriot “wants to be a goalie”, but Reyna responded by saying: “No way!”

WHAT NEXT FOR FOREST?
Forest have five games left to take in this season, as they seek to avoid being relegated out of the Premier League. Reyna provided an assist when making his full debut against Wolves and will be hoping to make more positive contributions in the coming weeks – from his preferred position in a playmaking role.
