Forest approach the upcoming fixtures with the possibility of securing safety in their upcoming clash against Chelsea at the City Ground. Scheduled as the late kick-off in the English top-flight on Saturday, the Reds will be informed of Burnley and Luton’s outcomes prior to their match.

With a superior goal difference compared to teams directly below them, Forest could essentially secure safety if Luton were to lose against West Ham and Burnley were unable to secure a victory against Tottenham. Should these scenarios unfold, even a draw against Chelsea would guarantee survival for Nuno Espirito Santo’s side, while a win would almost certainly ensure their safety, regardless of other results.

Reyna is eager to make an impact against Chelsea, as he has found himself on the bench for Forest’s last two matches. Ahead of this crucial contest, he is undergoing rigorous preparation, with Forest determined not to falter.

Throughout his loan spell in England, Reyna has struggled to secure regular game time, starting only two matches and accumulating a total of 230 minutes of Premier League action. It is likely that he will return to his parent club Borussia Dortmund in the summer, with decisions regarding his long-term future pending.
