Morgan Gibbs-White might need a "miracle" to be available for Nottingham Forest's Europa League semi-final second leg against Aston Villa on Thursday - but head coach Vitor Pereira is feeling hopeful.

The attacking midfielder was forced off the pitch with a bandaged head, and subsequently required stitches, after a collision with Chelsea goalkeeper Robert Sanchez in the Reds' 3-1 win on Monday.

Pereira's side take a 1-0 lead to Villa Park - and the boss certainly won't want to be without main playmaker Gibbs-White, who has already registered three goals and three assists on their European tour.

"He has a deep cut," Pereira admitted. "We will see. He is a fighter and we will hope for a miracle.
