The 25-year-old scored at Anfield last weekend as Forest sealed a 3-0 victory over Liverpool to pile more pressure on Arne Slot.
But the midfielder was left out of Forest’s 3-0 win at home to Malmo in the Europa League on Thursday night and watched the game from the stands at the City Ground.
Speaking before the game against Malmo, Forest manager Sean Dyche played down the severity of Gibbs-White’s injury.
‘We’re just settling an issue with him, we’re hopeful it’s nothing too serious but he’ll miss this one,’ Dyche said.

Dyche made six other changes for Forest’s Europa League tie with goalkeeper Matz Sels, Nicolo Savona, Neco Williams, Elliot Anderson, Dan Ndoye and Igor Jesus all starting on the bench.
Following Forest’s win against Malmo, Dyche admitted that some members of his squad are being selected despite lacking full match fitness.
‘We’ve had so many injuries, Callum’s [Hudson-Odoi] done brilliant tonight to get 90 [minutes] in because he’s come out of injury,’ Dyche said.
‘It’s a risk and reward getting them fit. Ideally the way I work is to get them fit for the task, not use the task to get fit.
‘We haven’t managed to do that, some players are having to get fit on the job and I don’t think that’s ideal but that’s what we’re having to do.
‘The use of every player is going to be really, really important going forwards.’
