Milenkovic (hamstring) is set to be available for the Oct. 11 trip to Crystal Palace after playing 45 minutes in Saturday's friendly win over Swansea City, John Percy of the Telegraph reports, with coach Oliver Glasner having told the Nottingham Post this week that he expects the defender to be available. "Yes, he should be available for Palace."
Analysis:Milenkovie completed 45 minutes against Swansea City to confirm his return to full match intensity following the hamstring injury that sidelined him against Aston Villa and Coventry City. Manager Oliver Glasner has already indicated the defender should be available for Crystal Palace, making the October 11 fixture a realistic target for his starting return. The Serbian international had started all three Premier League matches he was available for this season, cementing his status as a key pillar in the defensive line. Milenkovic could step straight back into the starting XI alongside Jair Cunha and Murillo in the back three, a move that would see Ousmane Diomande return to the substitute bench.
