Nottingham Forest defender Neco Williams has confirmed he will miss the remainder of the season after suffering a broken jaw.
The Wales international was stretchered off with a facial injury in Forest’s 3-1 win over Brighton on Wednesday night. A club statement explained that the full-back was immediately taken to hospital, where he underwent successful surgery, and is expected to return home on Friday.
It was a huge victory against Brighton and ended the Reds’ run of 11 games without a win, lifting Steve Cooper ’s side out of the bottom three. However, Williams is set to play no further part in the final run-in. NottinghamshireLive reported on Thursday that the 22-year-old was set to miss the remainder of the campaign and Williams has suggested his season is over in a message on social media.
