Nottingham Forest head coach Steve Cooper has expressed his disappointment at the likelihood he will be without goalkeeper Dean Henderson for their Carabao Cup semi-final against Manchester United later this month.
Henderson, who joined Forest on a season-long loan deal from United back in July, was the hero of the hour on Wednesday evening, saving two penalties to help the City Ground side beat Wolves 4-3 on spot-kicks and progress to the semi-finals of the Carabao Cup for the first time since 1992. The contest had ended 1-1 at the end of 90 minutes, ahead of Henderson denying both Ruben Neves and Joe Hodge from the spot.
However, the goalkeeper, whose long-term future at Old Trafford remains up for debate, will not be allowed to play any part in the semi-final against United. EFL rules state that no player can play against their parent club, unless they are granted written permission.
