Harry Redknapp has named Nottingham Forest duo Dean Henderson and Ryan Yates in his team of the week after victory over Liverpool.
The former Tottenham and Portsmouth boss picked Henderson out as his star man for his performance, hinting at a possible World Cup call being on the horizon. He pointed to Henderson's saves being vital as Forest kept a clean sheet at the City Ground.
“To keep a clean sheet is one thing, but to do and get the three points against Liverpool is some achievement," Redknapp told BetVictor. "Forest had luck on their side, but this man made some crucial stops, including one world-class save at the end to deny the Reds. He’s in excellent form ahead of the World Cup and his display on Saturday makes him this week’s star man.”

Redknapp also had words of praise for Ryan Yates, who he says "stood out" above his Forest teammates during the win over Liverpool. It is a statement few Forest fans will be able to argue with, as the academy graduate had a stellar afternoon in the middle of the park for Steve Cooper's men.
“What a day Saturday was for the Forest faithful," Redknapp said. "To a man, they were excellent. Ryan Yates stood out for me though. What a session he put in; he really deserved the win."
