NOTTINGHAM FOREST are taking on Tottenham at the City Ground – and Daniel Munoz has made his debut.
The flying wing-back has come on in the second half to a standing ovation and fans have spotted that he is wearing a protective mask.
SunSport brings you the reason why.
Why is Nottingham Forest star Daniel Munoz wearing a mask?
Munoz is wearing a protective mask while playing for Nottingham Forest after the Colombian had nose surgery in the summer.
Forest boss Oliver Glasner confirmed: “He played in a mask at Everton because he had surgery on his nose for his breathing.”
The wing-back was an ever-present under Glasner during his Crystal Palace tenure.

The Austrian manager will be hoping Munoz can hit the same heights at the City Ground.
He made the £22million move north of the country just days before the transfer window slammed shut.
On the switch, Munoz said: “I’m really excited because I can see so much talent, Forest is a team with great players, great qualities and great skills on the pitch, I can’t wait to get out there so I can help my new team-mates and I think that we’re going to do great things.
“It is a club that’s fought hard in recent years, it has competed hard, it got to the semi-finals of the Europa League and I think it has even greater objectives for the future, and really this is what I like about Forest, and that’s why I decided to come here.”
