Impact Summary
Forest lose depth at the back and the wide attacking option of Hudson-Odoi, but crucially retain Gibbs-White’s end product. Newcastle’s main damage is to their back line, removing several options that protect a team which has already conceded 51 league goals. Both sides’ primary creative hubs remain available, so the attacking output on paper is largely intact.
