Defender Mohamed Drager says it was “tempting” to try to stake his claim for a place with Nottingham Forest this season.
The right-back joined the Reds from Olympiacos little more than 12 months ago, but has not made a single appearance in the Garibaldi. After a spell at FC Luzern last season, he returned to the Swiss club on loan this summer, with an option to make the move a permanent one.
Drager has made six league appearances so far this season, with his aim to get regular game time as he targets a place in Tunisia’s World Cup squad. And he says it was with Qatar in mind that he wanted to go out on loan again, rather than try to force his way into Steve Cooper’s thinking at the City Ground.
