Suffers shoulder injury
Cunha left Friday's win over Sunderland because of a shoulder issue.
Analysis: Cunha will be questionable for the upcoming clash with Aston Villa in Europa League action, as it remains to be seen if his problem is significant. The defender had recently bounced back from a foot injury, making just three appearances across all competitions before picking up the new blow. While both Cunha and Murillo (muscular) struggle to remain healthy, Nikola Milenkovic and Morato could see extended outings in the immediate future.
Starting vs. Porto
Cunha (foot) is in the starting lineup for Thursday's Europa League match against Porto.
Analysis: Nottingham Forest will be rotating some pieces for this contest and Cunha will get the nod in the XI, playing in a three-man defensive line next to Murillo and Neco Williams. With this move, Nikola Milenkovic will head to the bench. This will be Jair's first appearance since logging nine minutes vs. Midtjylland in the Europa League on March 12.
