USMNT goalkeeper Turner left off Nottingham Forest squad for Premier League opener

The USMNT starter appears to be third-string at his club

Matt Turner appears to have been demoted at Nottingham Forest — again.

The U.S. men’s national team goalkeeper was not in Forest’s matchday squad for its Premier League opener against Bournemouth on Saturday, indicating he may have dropped to third on the depth chart.

Turner joined Forest last summer in a £10 million move from Arsenal. After a promising start to his time at the City Ground, the 30-year-old would eventually lose his starting position due to a series of high-profile errors.

Forest signed Matz Sels from Strasbourg in February, relegating Turner to a spot on the bench for the remainder of the Premier League season.

In the summer, Forest signed goalkeeper Carlos Miguel from Corinthians. The Brazilian was on the bench on Saturday, with Sels in goal to kick off the 2024-25 season.

With Turner’s chances of playing time now seemingly gone at Forest, the focus will turn to whether he can secure a move away before the transfer window closes at the end of August.

CBS Sports has reported that Turner has been subject to interest from Bundesliga and La Liga clubs this summer.
