Nottingham Forest ace's absence explained as Steve Cooper seeks midfield solution

Nottingham Forest midfielder Jack Colback is recovering from a “concussion incident” suffered in training.

The 33-year-old has not been involved in the Reds’ last three games, against Leeds United, Aston Villa and Manchester United. The last time he was included in a match squad was when he was an unused substitute in the 1-1 draw with Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Injuries and illness have affected Colback’s availability this season, but head coach Steve Cooper has always valued him highly. Although he has only made 16 appearances so far this term, the experienced former Newcastle United man has still been a key figure on and off the pitch.
