Manchester United loanee Dean Henderson is set to be sidelined with a muscle injury for around four to six weeks.
Henderson, who joined Nottingham Forest on a season-long in the summer, sustained the injury in his side's 2-0 win against Leicester at the weekend. The goalkeeper managed to continue until the final whistle but looked uncomfortable at full-time.
The Manchester Evening News understands Henderson has been assessed this week and that scans have revealed the goalkeeper has suffered a grade two tear in his thigh, which means he's facing a spell on the sidelines.

Henderson is set to be out for four to six weeks and he could return to action at the end of February or the beginning of March. He's become a first-team regular at the City Ground this season and his injury comes as a huge blow to Nottingham Forest.
Erik ten Hag will not make a decision on Henderson's future until the end of the season and it's understood the academy graduate has not spoken to the Dutchman, who the stopper said he refused to train under out of fear of being denied a move away.
United are currently negotiating a new deal with David De Gea and Henderson wants regular starts at this stage of his career. He's made 20 appearances for Nottingham Forest this season and he's been able to keep six clean sheets.
Henderson is under contract at United until 2025.
