Leeds United supporters have questioned Nottingham Forest's decision to ask the Premier League for permission to re-add Steve Cook to their squad list after lengthy injuries to two other centre-backs.
Scott McKenna and Willy Boly are both set to be out on the sideline for long periods with hamstring injuries, with McKenna only likely to come back after the next six weeks while Boly could miss the rest of the season.
That means Steve Cooper's side only have Joe Worrall and Felipe available at centre-back for the foreseeable future after Cook was omitted following his rejection of a Championship loan move in the January transfer window.
