Vinícius Júnior rescues lacklustre Brazil as Morocco earn deserved World Cup draw

theguardian.com · 3 days ago

So it turns out that Carlo Ancelotti is no miracle worker. After watching his side fall behind to Ismael Saibari’s brilliant opening goal, the Brazil manager needed a big favour from Vinícius Júnior to ensure the five-time World Cup winners’ first match of the 2026 edition didn’t end in an embarrassing defeat.For large portions of an absorbing first half that hopefully set the tone for the rest of the tournament, Brazil found themselves chasing shadows as Casemiro and Bruno Guimarães struggled to contain a Morocco midfield anchored by the outstanding teenager Ayyoub Bouaddi. But after Times Square was transformed into a tapestry of yellow and red shirts on Friday night as both sets of fans warmed up for one of the most anticipated matches of the group stages, it was the Real Madrid forward who has been heavily criticised for failing to produce his club form on the international stage who gave the Brazil supporters something to celebrate.

Video: Ismael Saibari and Vinicius score brilliant goals for Morocco and Brazil in World Cup debut

worldsoccertalk.com · 3 days ago

Ismael Saibari and Vinicius Junior scored the first goals for Morocco and Brazil at the 2026 FIFA World Cup. In the opening match of Group C at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, Brazil are facing Morocco at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. Ismael Saibari opened the scoring, while Vinicius Junior found the equalizer. In the opening stages, Morocco surprised Brazil by controlling possession and dictating play, allowing them to create several scoring opportunities and put their opponents under pressure. The African side’s biggest strengths were their speed in pressing and closing down space to quickly recover possession, as well as their patience and intensity on the ball. Ayyoub Bouaddi, Neil El Aynaoui and Azzedine Ounahi were instrumental in executing that game plan. In that context, in the 21st minute, Brahim Diaz delivered an excellent pass to Ismael Saibari, who found himself one-on-one with goalkeeper Alisson and calmly lifted a delicate finish over the Liverpool player.

However, when they needed it most, their biggest star stepped up to rescue them and bring the match back level. In the 32nd minute, a pass from Bruno Guimaraes found Vinicius Junior in space on the left wing. The Real Madrid winger controlled the ball, cut inside and, after beating a defender, unleashed a brilliant right-footed strike that left goalkeeper Yassine Bounou with no chance. VINI JR.

Saturday’s goal against Morocco was, of course, Vinicius Junior’s first goal at the 2026 FIFA World Cup. However, he was also part of Brazil’s squad at Qatar 2022. There, the Real Madrid winger scored one goal, finding the net in a 4-1 victory over South Korea in the Round of 16. In total, Vinicius has made 50 appearances for the Brazil senior national team since his debut in 2019, across friendlies, World Cup matches, South American qualifiers and Copa America tournaments. Saturday’s strike was his 10th international goal, and he has also recorded nine assists.

Is Vinicius Junior playing? Brazil vs Morocco confirmed lineups for 2026 World Cup Group C game

worldsoccertalk.com · 3 days ago

Brazil and Morocco face off in the 2026 FIFA World Cup, and all eyes are on Vinicius Junior. Brazil and Morocco begin their journey in Group C of the 2026 FIFA World Cup in what promises to be one of the most intriguing matches of the tournament’s opening stage. Vinicius Junior will be one of the forwards for the South American side. The match will be played this Saturday at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey and will be officiated by Slovenia’s Slavko Vincic. It is the opening match of Group C, which also includes Scotland and Haiti, who will face each other later on Saturday. After one year in charge of Brazil, Carlo Ancelotti will face his first major international challenge. He was hired as the highest-paid coach among all national teams in the world precisely to reach this moment, with the goal of guiding Brazil to their first World Cup title in 24 years. To achieve that, the Italian manager will look to maximize the strengths of his two biggest stars, Vinicius and Raphinha, on the wings, supported by the quality and experience of players such as Casemiro and Marquinhos in defensive roles. Carlo Ancelloti, head coach of Brazil. But the challenge will be far from easy, as Morocco are determined to replicate — and even improve on — their run at Qatar 2022, where they reached the semifinals. To do so, they will rely on several stars from that squad, alongside young talents who have emerged in recent years, such as Real Madrid midfielder Brahim Diaz. Brazil lineup After experimenting with several options in recent weeks, Carlo Ancelotti appears to have abandoned the idea of playing with four forwards and will instead reinforce the midfield to give his side greater control of possession, with Lucas Paqueta joining Casemiro and Bruno Guimaraes. With that in mind, Brazil’s confirmed lineup is: Alisson; Ibañez, Marquinhos, Gabriel Magalhaes; Douglas Santos, Bruno Guimaraes, Casemiro, Lucas Paqueta; Raphinha, Igor Thiago, Vinicius Junior. Morocco lineup Morocco suffered a major setback over the past week when two of their top players were ruled out of the World Cup: winger Abde Ezzalzouli and defender Nayef Aguerd were sidelined with injuries and replaced in the squad by Amine Sbai and Marwane Saadane. With that in mind, Morocco’s confirmed lineup is: Yassine Bounou; Achraf Hakimi, Issa Diop, Chadi Riad, Noussair Mazraoui; A. Bouaddi, Neil El Aynaoui; Brahim Diaz, Azzedine Ounahi, B.E. Khannouss; Ismael Saibari.

‘Argentina weren’t favorites at the last World Cup, and they won’: Guimaraes defends Brazil’s 2026 hopes

worldsoccertalk.com · 6 days ago

Bruno Guimaraes defended Brazil's chances at the 2026 FIFA World Cup by using Argentina as an example. Brazil are set to begin their 2026 FIFA World Cup campaign looking to end a 24-year drought without lifting the trophy. Bruno Guimaraes addressed the widespread perception that his national team are not among the leading favorites and pointed to Argentina as an example. “Argentina weren’t favorites at the last World Cup, and they won,” Guimaraes said during a press conference this week when asked whether he believed Brazil could win the trophy despite their struggles in recent years and the team’s unconvincing performances. However, the comparison with Argentina is open to debate. Four years ago, Lionel Messi and his teammates entered the 2022 World Cup as the reigning Copa America and Finalissima champions. They were playing convincing soccer and carried a 36-match unbeaten streak that ended in their opener against Saudi Arabia. There was no unanimous agreement at the time regarding Argentina’s status as title contenders, but many observers did hold that view. By contrast, caution surrounding Brazil‘s chances now appears to be more widespread and supported by tangible evidence. Carlo Ancelloti, head coach of Brazil. Brazil finished fifth in the World Cup qualifiers, 10 points behind Argentina, after a turbulent cycle that included the departures of two head coaches before Carlo Ancelotti arrived last summer. Under the Italian manager, they have played 12 matches across official competitions and friendlies, recording seven wins, two draws and three losses. Guimaraes defends Brazil’s chances At the same press conference, Bruno Guimaraes defended Brazil’s chances of competing for the title at the 2026 FIFA World Cup. He first pointed to the history and tradition of the national team. “No one has five stars on their chest,” he said, referring to Brazil’s record as the most successful team in World Cup history. “We have great players shining at the best teams in the world, like Vini and Raphinha,” added the Newcastle midfielder while explaining his optimism about Brazil’s chances. “We must show proper respect to our players.” Brazil face a tough challenge in their opener As members of Group C, Brazil will be among the first teams to begin their 2026 FIFA World Cup campaign. They will face Morocco on Saturday in a difficult test against a team that reached the semifinals in Qatar 2022 and finished as runners-up at the 2025 AFCON just a few months ago. On paper, that will be Carlo Ancelotti’s team’s toughest challenge of the group stage. They will then face Haiti on Friday, June 19, before wrapping up that phase of the tournament five days later against Scotland.

Endrick scores Brazil’s winner against Egypt in final friendly before the 2026 FIFA World Cup

worldsoccertalk.com · last week

Brazil defeated Egypt 2-1 in their final friendly before the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Brazil took care of business with a 2-1 victory over Egypt in their final friendly before the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Bruno Guimaraes and Endrick scored for Carlo Ancelotti’s side, while Ziko found the net for the African team. The match was entertaining from the opening whistle. Brazil came out looking to control possession and dictate the tempo, while Egypt focused on staying compact defensively and taking advantage of the pace of their attackers. In that context, Bruno Guimaraes scored the opener in the early minutes after winning the ball near the opposing box and finishing with a precise strike. However, the African side did not lose confidence and found the equalizer shortly afterward when Marquinhos made a costly mistake with a short pass that was intercepted by Ziko. The winger found himself one-on-one with Alisson and made no mistake. In the following minutes, Brazil created clear chances through Vinicius and Igor Thiago but were unable to convert. In the second half, Carlo Ancelotti changed almost the entire lineup, looking to protect his key players while also giving valuable minutes to the rest of the squad. The changes paid off immediately, as Endrick, one of the substitutes introduced at halftime, scored on Brazil’s first attack of the second half. In the remaining minutes, the South American side focused on protecting its lead and avoiding unnecessary risks, given how close the World Cup opener is. Egypt looked for an equalizer after the introduction of Mohamed Salah, but they were unable to make the difference. What’s next for Brazil and Egypt? Following the friendly, Brazil will have one week to prepare before opening their 2026 FIFA World Cup campaign. Next Saturday, they will face Morocco in a Group C matchup. Egypt will have even more time to get ready, as their first match is scheduled for Monday, June 15, against Belgium.

Is Neymar playing today? Confirmed lineups for Brazil vs Egypt pre-World Cup friendly

worldsoccertalk.com · last week

Brazil and Egypt are set to meet in one of the final tune-up matches before the 2026 FIFA World Cup, with much of the attention focused on Neymar. Brazil are just one week away from their debut at the 2026 FIFA World Cup and, as a final test before that challenge, they will face Egypt in an international friendly on Saturday. Neymar will not be part of the squad as he continues the final stages of his recovery from a calf injury. Carlo Ancelotti was optimistic this week when discussing Ney’s physical progress. “He is doing excellent individual work,” said the coach before explaining that the forward will undergo medical tests on Saturday to assess his current condition. “If everything goes well, he will rejoin the main group next week.” Beyond Neymar’s situation, Brazil have an interesting test ahead as they look to gauge their form before the start of the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Last weekend’s friendly against Panama, despite ending in a convincing 6-2 victory, raised some concerns about the team’s overall play, considering the starters held only a 2-1 lead at halftime before the substitutes shined in the second half. This Saturday at Huntington Bank Field in Cleveland, Ohio, the South American giants will face a much tougher challenge against Egypt. Mohamed Salah and his teammates have proven to be a difficult opponent and will force Brazil to raise their level if they want a positive result. Carlo Ancelotti, Head Coach of Brazil. Confirmed Brazil lineup In addition to Neymar’s absence, Carlo Ancelotti will be without a few other players who are still working their way back to full fitness ahead of the World Cup. That includes Gabriel Magalhaes, who played in the UEFA Champions League final with Arsenal just one week ago and will be on the bench. With that in mind, the confirmed lineup to face Egypt is: Alisson; Wesley, Marquinhos, Ibanez, Douglas Santos; Casemiro, Bruno Guimaraes, Lucas Paqueta; Raphinha, Igor Thiago, Vinicius Junior. Confirmed Egypt lineup Egypt will open their 2026 FIFA World Cup campaign on Monday, June 15, against Belgium in Group G, making this match against Brazil their final tune-up before official competition begins in North America after last week’s 1-0 win over Russia. The confirmed lineup selected by head coach Hossam Hassan is: Mostafa Shobeir; Ahmed Fattouh, Hamdy Fathy, Yasser Ibrahim, Mohamed Hany; Marwan Ateya, Mohanad Lasheen, Mostafa Ziko, Trezeguet, Haissem Hassan, Omar Marmoush.

Neymar to miss Brazil trip for Egypt friendly to continue 2026 World Cup recovery

worldsoccertalk.com · 2 weeks ago

With Brazil facing Egypt on Saturday, Neymar will miss the trip for the friendly to continue his recovery ahead of the 2026 World Cup. Neymar is currently locked into a rehabilitation program that has kept him separated from the main group during Brazil‘s training sessions. To maximize his chances of being fully fit for the Selecao‘s looming 2026 World Cup opener, the Santos superstar has been completely omitted from the traveling squad for their upcoming friendly against Egypt, remaining behind at the team’s base camp. Brazil is scheduled to square off against Egypt on Saturday, June 6, at Huntington Bank Field in Cleveland, Ohio, marking their final exhibition match before launching their World Cup campaign against Morocco. However, the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) confirmed in an official statement released on Thursday that Neymar will not board the plane with his teammates. Instead, the veteran attacker will remain at the team’s primary headquarters in New Jersey to focus on his recovery. Nursing a Grade 2 calf strain that he suffered during domestic play back on May 17, the medical staff’s blueprint mandates that Neymar undergo intensive, specialized physical therapy to accelerate the healing process rather than endure the fatigue of travel. While the injury previously kept him out of action, Neymar still took his place on the substitutes’ bench to support his teammates during Brazil’s prior friendly at the Maracana, where several opposing players even snapped photos with the former Barcelona star. This time around, the federation has opted against a similar arrangement, choosing to keep the 34-year-old entirely isolated from the matchday environment. Neymar Jr. of Brasil speaks to teammates Vinicius Junior and Bruno Guimaraes. What lies ahead for Neymar? Despite growing external anxiety surrounding his overall durability, head coach Carlo Ancelotti has repeatedly reassured the public that Neymar’s place on the final 26-man roster remains completely secure. While Neymar faces stiff internal competition from elite wingers Vinicius Junior and Raphinha for a spot in the starting XI, his inclusion in the tournament squad is a certainty, even if his initial workload is somewhat restricted. The five-time world champions will officially kick off their tournament run on June 13 against Morocco at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey. Given that he has yet to participate in standard team drills, expectations are increasingly mounting that the legendary playmaker will be forced to sit out the highly anticipated Group C curtain-raiser. Nevertheless, the CBF medical department plans to monitor Neymar’s physical progression on a daily basis over the next week, with an additional MRI scan scheduled for June 12, exactly 24 hours prior to the Morocco clash. The definitive data from that final imaging session will ultimately allow the coaching staff and team doctors to make a late game-time decision on his availability.

Why isn’t Neymar playing for Brazil against Panama ahead of 2026 World Cup debut?

worldsoccertalk.com · 2 weeks ago

Set to face Panama as one of the preparation friendlies ahead of the 2026 World Cup, Carlo Ancelotti has left Neymar entirely out of the Brazil squad list. Brazil is set to clash with Panama at the Maracana Stadium on Sunday, May 31, in a crucial tune-up fixture ahead of the 2026 World Cup in North America. However, as the official lineups were unveiled, immediate questions arose surrounding the high-profile absence of superstar Neymar Jr. from Carlo Ancelotti’s matchday squad. Neymar will completely miss the friendly due to a lingering leg injury. After the forward underwent an MRI scan upon reporting to Brazil’s training camp, national team doctor Rodrigo Lasmar revealed that the Santos star is dealing with a Grade 2 calf strain, sidelining him not just from the starting XI, but from the entire bench against Panama. Santos had previously reported that Neymar merely suffered an edema, a minor injury, following a match against Coritiba back on May 17, which prompted Ancelotti to confidently name him to the final 26-man World Cup roster. However, this latest medical update casts serious doubt on whether the talisman will be fit in time for Brazil’s massive Group Stage opener against Morocco on Saturday, June 13, at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. The diagnosis sparked immediate speculation over whether Neymar could be replaced on the roster, potentially crushing his World Cup dreams. Ancelotti emphatically shut down those rumors during Saturday’s press conference, stating, “the 26 players I chose are the ones who will play in the World Cup,” confirming that Neymar will remain with the squad and no emergency injury replacements will be made.

Even so, the timeline will not move fast enough for the Santos icon to log any minutes for the Canarinha before the tournament officially kicks off. Following the Panama friendly, the Brazilian delegation will fly to New Jersey to open their primary training camp at the Columbia Park Training Center. From there, the Canarinha will travel to Cleveland, Ohio, to face Egypt at Huntington Bank Field on June 6 in their final pre-World Cup exhibition, leaving Neymar with an incredibly narrow window to prove his fitness. Confirmed lineups for Brazil and Panama Brazil’s confirmed lineup (4-2-3-1): Alisson, Wesley, Bremer, Leo Pereira, Alex Sandro; Casemiro, Bruno Guimaraes; Luiz Henrique, Raphinha, Vinicius Junior; Matheus Cunha.Head coach: Carlo Ancelotti.

Neymar included as Carlo Ancelotti reveals Brazil squad list ahead of 2026 World Cup

worldsoccertalk.com · 4 weeks ago

Neymar has been officially included by Brazil coach Carlo Ancelotti in the squad list for the 2026 World Cup. Neymar has been officially named in Brazil‘s 2026 World Cup squad, earning one final opportunity to represent the Selecao on soccer’s grandest stage. On Monday, head coach Carlo Ancelotti made the announcement alongside the other 25 players set to travel to North America. Monday’s press conference was held to formally confirm the squad for both the upcoming friendly schedule and the World Cup itself. Neymar’s inclusion had been one of the most debated topics in Brazilian soccer for months, and when Ancelotti reached the forwards on his list, the announcement was met with significant attention both at home and abroad. Barring any last-minute injury, this is the group that will represent Brazil in North America. The Selecao open their pre-tournament schedule with friendlies against Panama on May 31 and Egypt on June 6 before the World Cup gets underway across Canada, Mexico and the United States. Throughout the selection process, Ancelotti had been consistent in stating that physical fitness would be the determining factor in any decision regarding Neymar, emphasizing trust in the forward’s talent while stressing the need for him to be ready for the demands of a World Cup. A run of decent form in recent weeks, combined with season-ending injuries to Rodrygo and Estevao, ultimately opened the door for Neymar to be included for a fourth World Cup, following his participation in 2014, 2018 and 2022. É A LISTA DO CORAÇÃO! É A LISTA DO BRASIL! 🇧🇷Não são apenas 26 nomes. São 26 corações que sonharam com esse momento.

Nearly a year into his tenure, Ancelotti will now have the opportunity to work with Brazil’s all-time leading scorer, a player who surpassed the records of legends such as Pele, Ronaldo Nazario and Romario. Brazil’s complete 2026 World Cup squad Goalkeepers: Alisson Becker (Liverpool), Ederson Moraes (Fenerbahce), Weverton (Gremio).Defenders: Alex Sandro (Flamengo), Bremer (Juventus) Danilo Luiz (Flamengo), Douglas Santos (Zenit) Gabriel Magalhaes (Arsenal), Roger Ibañez (Al Ahli) Leo Pereira (Flamengo), Marquinhos (PSG), Wesley (AS Roma).Midfielders: Casemiro (Manchester United), Bruno Guimarães (Newcastle United), Fabinho (Al Ittihad), Danilo (Botafogo), Lucas Paqueta (Flamengo).Forwards: Endrick (O.

Neymar and his dream of a 2026 World Cup farewell The decision to return to Santos in 2025 was always about one thing: getting fit and finding form in time to make a final push for a place in the World Cup squad. With only an Olympic gold medal from 2016 to show for his international career in terms of major honors, Neymar arrives at this tournament with an urgent motivation to finally win a World Cup with the Selecao. Asked recently about the tournament and the possibility of a final showdown with Lionel Messi, Neymar allowed himself to dream. “Of course (I think about the World Cup). Every Brazilian player thinks about that. I hope I can be there. Also, a final between Brazil and Argentina would be spectacular,” he said in the mixed zone after Santos’ Copa Sudamericana match against San Lorenzo in Argentina.

Neymar Jr. and Thiago Silva reportedly make Carlo Ancelotti’s preliminary Brazil 2026 World Cup squad

worldsoccertalk.com · last month

Throughout his tenure as head coach, Carlo Ancelotti has decided not to rely on Neymar Jr. and Thiago Silva, instead opting for younger players. Nevertheless, he has reportedly decided to include both veterans in Brazil’s preliminary squad for the 2026 World Cup, opening doors for a comeback. Carlo Ancelotti‘s arrival has completely transformed Brazil, restoring them to their status as one of CONMEBOL’s top teams. Not only has he brought balance to the team, but he has also managed to rejuvenate the roster. As a result, Neymar Jr. and Thiago Silva have been left out of the squad, going several games without being called up. However, the head coach has reportedly backtracked, including both players in Brazil’s preliminary 2026 World Cup squad. According to UOL Esporte, Ancelotti already has his preliminary list of 55 players finalized, including Neymar Jr. and Thiago Silva, who have not played a prominent role since his arrival. With both shining at Santos and FC Porto, respectively, Carlo has decided to open the door to a possible return to the national team for the 2026 World Cup, due to their strong form and numerous injuries. Despite his inclusion in the preliminary list, neither of the two has a guaranteed place with Brazil. Thiago Silva has numerous players ahead of him, with Marquinhos, Gabriel Magalhães, Bremer, and Léo Pereira standing out the most due to their prominence at their clubs and their experience under Carlo Ancelotti. In addition, the 41-year-old defender does not provide the versatility to play as a full-back that the head coach desires so much, raising serious doubts. Neymar Jr. also faces a very complex challenge, as he has plenty of competition to secure a spot. Endrick, Igor Thiago, and Rayan all seem to be gaining momentum with Brazil, as they are shining both at their clubs and under Carlo Ancelotti. Nevertheless, the vast experience of the 34-year-old star could prove decisive, as he is now excelling as a creative attacking midfielder, elevating his teammates—something that could be key to his return with Brazil. Neymar of Brazil is consoled by Thiago Silva. When was the last time Neymar Jr. and Thiago Silva played for Brazil? Neymar Jr. and Thiago Silva managed to shine as Brazil’s leaders over the last 10 years, serving as captains and central figures in the locker room. Nevertheless, both have stopped being key pieces for the national team. On one hand, the 34-year-old winger’s last appearance came on October 18, 2023, in the 2–0 defeat against Venezuela. On the other hand, the 41-year-old defender’s last appearance came on December 9, 2022, in the defeat against Croatia at the 2022 World Cup. Brazil’s reported full preliminary squad 2026 World Cup Goalkeepers: Alisson (Liverpool-ENG), Ederson (Fenerbahçe-TUR), Bento (Al-Nassr-SAU), Hugo Souza (Corinthians), John (Nottingham Forest-ENG), Carlos Miguel (Palmeiras) Defenders: Marquinhos (PSG-FRA), Thiago Silva (Porto), Gabriel Magalhães (Arsenal-ENG), Bremer (Juventus-ITA), Léo Pereira (Flamengo), Ibañez (Al-Ahli-SAU), Alexsandro (Lille-FRA), Fabrício Bruno (Cruzeiro), Beraldo (PSG-FRA), Vitor Reis (Girona-ESP), Murillo (Nottingham Forest-ENG) Right Backs:, Wesley (Roma-ITA), Danilo (Flamengo), Paulo Henrique (Vasco), Vitinho (Botafogo)Left Backs: Alex Sandro (Flamengo), Douglas Santos (Zenit-RUS), Luciano Juba (Bahia), Caio Henrique (Monaco-FRA), Kaiki (Cruzeiro), Carlos Augusto (Inter de Milão-ITA) Midfielders: Casemiro (Manchester United-ENG), Bruno Guimarães (Newcastle-ENG), Fabinho (Al-Ittihad-SAU), Andrey Santos (Chelsea-ENG), Danilo (Botafogo), Lucas Paquetá (Flamengo), Gabriel Sara (Galatasaray-TUR), João Gomes (Wolverhampton-ENG), Andreas Pereira (Palmeiras), Joelinton (Newcastle-ENG), Gerson (Cruzeiro), Matheus Pereira (Cruzeiro) Forwards: Vini Jr. (Real Madrid-ESP), Raphinha (Barcelona-ESP), Matheus Cunha (Manchester United-ENG), Luiz Henrique (Zenit-RUS), Gabriel Martinelli (Arsenal-ENG), João Pedro (Chelsea-ENG), Estêvão (Chelsea-ENG),

Anderson stuns former club Newcastle with late equaliser as Forest seal safety

theguardian.com · last month

Where did Elliot Anderson find the strength to score the goal that ultimately enabled Nottingham Forest to retain their Premier League status? Not only did he show incredible endeavour to start and finish the decisive move, propelling into the six-yard box with a couple of minutes of time to run, but the England midfielder, an ever-present for Forest and now a fixture for his country, was playing 48 hours after the funeral of his mother, Helen. “There have been a few things going on recently so it felt really nice,” Anderson said by way of understatement afterwards.After a give-and-go with James McAtee and burning past Bruno Guimarães, the Newcastle captain, rather than admiring his initial pass, Anderson flashed a shot past Nick Pope from a tight angle. As his teammates celebrated, Anderson lay on the floor with cramp. Anderson has been Forest’s best player this season by some distance, even accounting for Morgan Gibbs-White’s incredible form this calendar year and Neco Williams’s consistent displays from full-back.
