Nottingham Forest’s Harry Toffolo has sent a message upon his return to training as he steps up his return to fitness.
Toffolo has been out of action with a hamstring injury since the middle of last month. It was confirmed by Steve Cooper that he would be on the sidelines for 'a little while'.
The injury has seen Toffolo miss the last five games in all competitions. But the break of Premier League fixtures for the World Cup has given the player extra time to step up his rehabilitation and close in on a comeback for the return of the league.

Posting on Instagram, he has shared a picture of him taking part in training with his Forest teammates. The caption on the picture reads “So good to be back.”
Toffolo was one of many new arrivals at the City Ground this summer, signing from Huddersfield Town during the transfer window. He has played a total of eight games in the Premier League so far this season, with his latest appearance coming in the 0-0 draw against Brighton and Hove Albion back in October.
Speaking after sealing his move to the City Ground, Toffolo outlined his excitement of playing Premier League football with the club this season. “I'm extremely delighted to be here, to be able to join a football club with this much stature is fantastic and to have the opportunity to play in the Premier League is something I couldn't turn down,” he said .
"I'm a player who wears his heart on his sleeve and I'm someone that will fight for the badge and for the team every single minute and now I can't wait to get started."
