Nottingham Forest defenders Steve Cook and Max Lowe are “on course” as they continue to recover from injuries.
Both players were forced off during the Reds’ 4-0 rout over Reading last month. And they were left facing six weeks on the sidelines.
Lowe suffered a groin problem, having to be substituted towards the end of the first half against the Royals. It is the left-back’s second spell out of action with a groin issue, although boss Steve Cooper has said “it is a slightly different injury” to the one which saw him miss two months towards the end of last year. Forest are unlikely to want to rush him back into action, even though it isn’t exactly a recurrence of his previous injury.
