Robert Earnshaw has expressed his disappointment that Brennan Johnson has been forced to miss Wales’ European Championship qualifiers with Croatia and Latvia.
The 21-year-old was called up by Wales but did not report for duty, having previously picked up a groin strain on March 11 only to then play against Newcastle six days later.
That prompted Wales boss Robert Page to suggest Nottingham Forest should not ‘take him for granted’ – a remark that irritated Reds supporters.
