Nottingham Forest defender Omar Richards has taken a significant forward step in his recovery from injury.
The former Bayern Munich man is yet to make his debut for the Reds, having been sidelined with a hairline fracture of the leg since the summer. He is still some way off making his first appearance - and will not feature in the final two games before the World Cup break - but he has now partly joined in with training.
Richards was able to link up with his teammates today, as they prepare for Wednesday night’s Carabao Cup clash against Tottenham Hotspur. And boss Steve Cooper was pleased to have him involved.
