Nottingham Forest defender Scott McKenna has been ruled out for the rest of the season with a fractured collarbone.
On only his second appearance since returning from a hamstring problem which had kept him out since February, the 26-year-old was forced off after half an hour of Saturday’s 3-2 defeat at Liverpool. And he is now set to miss the Reds’ remaining six games as they fight to stay in the Premier League.
With Willy Boly still sidelined with a hamstring issue, it leaves Joe Worrall, Felipe and Moussa Niakhate as the centre-backs available to Cooper. It also adds to Forest’s injury woes as they continue to have a long list of players absent.
