Forgotten Nottingham Forest star hints at injury return in relegation boost

Nottingham Forest defender Giulian Biancone has teased a return from injury, having not played since October last year.

The Frenchman joined Steve Cooper's side last summer from Ligue 1 side Troyes. But a devastating knee injury ruled him out of action for much of the season.

Biancone has played just 16 minutes in all competitions for Forest since his arrival at the City Ground in July last year. His most recent appearance was the 0-0 draw at Brighton on October 18.

Reds boss Steve Cooper revealed the lengthy injury blow towards the end of last year saying: "Unfortunately, Giulian picked up a serious knee injury in training which will rule him out until the end of the season".

However, the defender has shown signs of recovery according to his recent activity on social media. On Friday, he tweeted: "It's time to be back" alongside a video of him running, as well as practising crosses.

Forest face a daunting trip to Anfield on Saturday as they look for a first win since beating Leeds back in February. The Reds have a dreadful away record having won just once on the road this season.

Forest currently sit in the bottom three on goal difference as they look to avoid dropping back down to the Championship. They have just seven games left to secure their top-flight safety for next season.
