Nottingham Forest boss addresses Djed Spence situation ahead of potential play-offs problem

Nottingham Forest boss Steve Cooper insists he is not yet thinking about the possibility of being without Djed Spence in the play-offs.

Indeed, the Welshman says the Reds are not “worried” about who they could come up against in the battle to reach Wembley and secure the final promotion spot. Heading into the final round of fixtures this weekend, it will be two from Sheffield United, Luton Town, Middlesbrough and Millwall to join Forest and Huddersfield Town in the semi-finals.

Should Cooper’s side end up meeting Boro, Spence - who has been a star performer in the Garibaldi - would be ineligible to feature against his parent club. However, the Reds head coach says looking at potential solutions will not come into his thinking for naming his team to face Hull City in the last game of the regular season on Saturday.
