Hutchinson Omitted From Forest's Europa League Squad Wednesday, 3rd Sep 2025 22:59 Ex-Town forward Omari Hutchinson has been omitted from Nottingham Forest’s squad for the league phase of the Europa League.
Forest are limited to a squad of 22 rather than 25 as they have only one player who was at the club between the ages of 15 and 21 and not the four required by UEFA rules in order to name a full complement.
Hutchinson, whose £37.5 million move last month was the Blues’ record sale and Forest’s record purchase, misses out alongside Oleksandr Zinchenko, who joined on loan from Arsenal on Monday, and fellow summer arrivals Angus Gunn, Jair Cunha and Cuiabano, as well as Jota Silva and Taiwo Awoniyi.
Clubs are permitted to make three changes to the squad between the league stage of the competition and the knockout phase.
Hutchinson, 21, has made two Premier League appearances as a late sub since joining Forest.

Maybe he was omitted because of his issues with his sore throat! |  | |

Some ‘nodding dogs’ might want to worry more about us losing to a fourth division reserve side and scoring one goal from open play all season, an own goal! He’s quite right to go and play for a team that’s almost champion league quality, and he’ll do brilliantly medium and long term, he’s a huge talent. He shouldn’t be playing against Oxford etc.., and if we had anything about us, we shouldn’t either. If only the haters, could afford the same scrutiny when our manger agreed terms with Brighton. Complete hypocrisy. We might not be in this (expensive) mess. Good luck Omari, and thanks for 23/24, when you finally got your chance (February) you literally got us over the line. Huge talent. Hull away .., quality, under pressure. |  | |

Maybe he didn't feel like he could contribute in Europe ? |  | |

I would imagine, along with playing again in the Premier League ( when he gets the chance ), a chance to play in Europe would have been a big draw. I expect he's somewhat disappointed, but if he's as good as Forest obviously believe he is, then we should see what he's capable of at some point during this season, that's if he's as good. Of which, rather like a lot of things at the moment, time will tell. |  | |

I'm afraid he thinks he's better than he actually is. |  | |

As usual Darkhorse has to slant a thread away from the actual topic to become a sideswipe at Club Management and other fans who disagree with him. |  | |

This could be a good thing for him Perhaps Forest want to prioritise him for the league |  | |

Shame, perhaps the European air may aggravate his sore throat or being away from home he might not have the right head space. |  | |

Not interested really. I often follow the fortunes of ex players, whether they've moved up or down the leagues but I've no interest in his career after his behaviour during the final few weeks with ITFC. |  | |

That’s how I feel Saxonblue. I don’t have any animosity towards him but I don’t really care now. I will be following the fortunes of Woolfie, Chappers and others who left this summer though |  | |

Omari "Qué Sera Sera". When your new manager didn't want you this is what you get. |  | |

Spoilt little prima donna did not get such good advice from his leach of an agent, if he had behaved and shown respect towards the club (his employers and he was under contract) we might be a little bit more sympathetic, in my opinion a good season playing every week for Town would have been a better option for him than getting a few minutes here or there and being a benchwarmer |  | |

How he forced the move was the issue not the fact he wanted the move. The downing of tools was unforgivable for me, you still have a contractual obligation for the club that gave you a break and put you on the map for these bigger moves, we had the faith in your talent, and you do have talent, even though he was more miss than hit in the prem. The reason Delap is still loved is because we all knew he was going to move on, he didnt even deny it, but he didnt down tools and he played until the last, he did it the right way. When you refuse to play and coe up with lame excuses that no one would ever believe, you make yourself look very silly and you end up getting what you deserve. I am not sure if it will work out for him at forest or not, and like others have said i dont care, he has ruined what he built here and he disrespected us to a point i cant accept. I have no issue with a player wanting to move on for whatever their reasons are, its their career after all, but you have a contract and you have to above all else have respect for the club and what they have done for you, and he threw all of that in the bin with his childish and greedy attitude. |  | |

I'm sensing a bit of bitterness from some fans. Might be wrong though. When McKenna got his birthday wish, fans were going crazy happy at having him here permanently. Now its "I don't care anymore". Can't fans be mature and just accept he did what he though was right, the way that worked for him, thank him for his service and move on? He's young, naive, ambitious, just like many of us were at that age. He'll learn, regret, be embarrassed in the future. Yeah, he left in circumstances most of us thought could have been handled differently, but that doesn't take away the fact that we wouldn't have been in the Prem in the first place if players like him hadn't got us there. He didn't try and upset you personally or the wider fans. Was golden boy, now enemy number 1 - the big meany. All a bit irrational to me to be sulking and holding grudges. We're better than that. We move on. |  | |
