Jonjo Shelvey has been told to stay at home after his furious reaction to being named as a substitute against former side Liverpool, according to the Telegraph.
Former Newcastle United midfielder Shelvey was named as a substitute for Nottingham Forest’s clash with Manchester United on April 16, and was set to relive the same fate last Saturday. Steve Cooper is said to have explained in a team meeting that Shelvey would be starting on the bench for the second successive match when he travelled to Anfield to face another of his former sides.
There are believed to be multiple reasons for his absence, including a knock he has been carrying to his calf - but Cooper is said to be unhappy with Shelvey’s performances in training last week and decided to make a stand.
