Premier League confirm big Nottingham Forest decision after transfer deadline day blow
The Premier League have confirmed Nottingham Forest's 25-man squad for the remainder of the season.
Forest had to submit their squad to the league by 3pm on Thursday, and there were questions over whether Lewis O'Brien would be included after his loan move to Blackburn Rovers fell through on deadline day.
It has now been confirmed that O'Brien misses out for Forest, who have filled all 25 of their spaces. Danilo and Brennan Johnson do not need to be registered, as they classify as under-21 players having been born after January 1, 2001. Summer signing Brandon Aguilera also falls into that category.

Nottingham Forest confirm new striker signing
Nottingham Forest have signed striker Andre Ayew on a free transfer.
The former West Ham and Swansea striker arrives on a short-term contract until the end of the season, and becomes Forest's 29th signing since promotion back to the Premier League last May. He takes the number 42 shirt at Nottingham Forest.
Ayew follows deadline day signings Felipe, Jonjo Shelvey and Keylor Navas through the City Ground doors, and will likely have taken up the last place in Forest's 25-man Premier League squad for the second half of the campaign. That squad had to be submitted by 3pm on Thursday, but free agents can be added as long as there is room for them.
Andre Ayew breaks Nottingham Forest transfer silence and reveals what he 'loves' about the club
New Nottingham Forest striker Andre Ayew has spoke about Steve Cooper and the City Ground being big factors behind his decision to sign for the club.
The former West Ham forward turned down Premier League rivals Everton to sign for Forest, having been a free agent since leaving Qatari side side Al Sadd.
He becomes the 29th player to join the Reds since promotion to the Premier League last May, and will provide competition to Taiwo Awoniyi, Sam Surridge and Emmanuel Dennis up front.
Nottingham Forest transfer decision made after EFL paperwork issue
Lewis O'Brien's loan move from Nottingham Forest to Blackburn Rovers has reportedly collapsed.
The clubs had agreed a season-long loan deal for O'Brien, with a £10million buy clause that would have been activated if Blackburn were to get promoted to the Premier League this season.
However, our colleagues at LancsLive report the deal is now off. There was an issue over the timing of the paperwork filed late on transfer deadline day. So as things stand, O'Brien will be staying put at the City Ground until the summer.
