Nottingham Forest have been dealt another injury blow ahead of the upcoming Premier League season.
Boss Steve Cooper says summer signing Omar Richards faces a spell on the sidelines, having only signed for the Reds little more than a week ago. It comes as midfielder Ryan Yates is absent with a knee problem and striker Sam Surridge is working his way back to fitness after groin surgery at the end of last term - although both are getting closer to a return
Richards has not featured for Forest in any of the friendlies since putting pen to paper on a four-year deal from Bayern Munich earlier this month. But in response to suggestions the left-back has suffered a broken leg, Cooper told the BBC: “He’s not broken his leg.”
