Nottingham Forest boss Steve Cooper reiterated his ‘next man up’ mantra as he confirmed striker Keinan Davis is expected to miss the remainder of the regular season.
The Aston Villa loanee was forced off with a hamstring problem in last week’s 1-0 defeat at Luton Town. It is an injury which is set to sideline him for about four to five weeks, although Cooper remained coy on whether he could return in time for the play-offs, should the Reds secure a top-six finish.
Forest were also without fellow front man Lewis Grabban against West Bromwich Albion, with the club captain absent due to illness. But January signing Sam Surridge seized the opportunity as he made his first league start in the Garibaldi.
