Nottingham Forest are giving their "full support" to midfielder Gustavo Scarpa while he handles off-field matters.
The 29-year-old is said to have lost about £1million from investing in a cryptocurrency venture and, according to ESPN Brazil, has filed a lawsuit in Brazil to try to recover the money. He returned to his homeland this week, with the club's permission, to deal with the situation - and head coach Steve Cooper admits it has affected the Brazilian's availability for the Reds.
The last time Scarpa, who is now back in the UK, got out on the pitch was during the 2-0 defeat at Fulham last month. Against Manchester City and West Ham United, he was an unused substitute, while he was not part of the match squad at all against Everton and Tottenham Hotspur.
