Other new faces such as Dan Ndoye, Dilane Bakwa and Douglas Luiz have been included.<\/p>\n
Teams are allowed to make up to three changes to their List A squad between the league phase and knockout rounds. They can name unlimited players to their List B, those who are under the age of 21 and have been at the club for two years or more, such as Zach Abbott.<\/p>\n
Forest begin their Europa League campaign with a trip to Real Betis on September 24.<\/p>\n
One normal day of Nottingham Forest. That\u2019s all we ask. Will never happen.<\/p>\n
Analysis by Nick Miller<\/p>\n
The omission of the club\u2019s record signing for the league phase of the Europa League campaign is pretty remarkable even by Forest\u2019s standards.<\/p>\n
Hutchinson arrived a couple of days before the start of the new season, and has made two appearances off the bench so far. But his chances of selection in the European squad are perhaps hampered by the fact that, with limited places to work with, there are at least two other players in all of the positions he can play in.<\/p>\n
Bakwa, McAtee, Ndoye and Callum Hudson-Odoi can all play on the right wing, the latter two are ahead of him in the pecking order on the left, Kalimuendo can also operate out wide, while Morgan Gibbs-White is the first choice at No 10 and McAtee probably the first reserve there.<\/p>\n
If leaving Hutchinson out is the headline, maybe even more remarkable from a football point of view is Zinchenko\u2019s omission. One of head coach Nuno Espirito Santo\u2019s key concerns in the closing weeks of the transfer window was that Forest didn\u2019t have enough cover at full-back, so leaving out the Ukrainian is an incredibly big call. There are players who can fill in at full-back, such as Morato or Abbott, but the only specialists in the selection are Ola Aina, Neco Williams and Nicolo Savona. Zinchenko\u2019s versatility, able to play in midfield too, in theory strengthened his case but Nuno, apparently, disagrees.<\/p>\n

Nuno has included veteran centre-back Willy Boly, which is something of a surprise given his lack of playing time last season, but the two have a long-standing relationship having first worked together at Porto in 2016, and Wolves after that, before he signed for Forest in 2022.<\/p>\n
Silva and Awoniyi may leave the club by the time of their first game so their omission is less of a shock. Other summer signings Cunha and Gunn are also out, bringing the total of new arrivals that won\u2019t be involved to five.<\/p>\n
