Nottingham Forest have been dealt an injury blow as they build up to the Premier League season.
Midfielder Ryan Yates faces a month on the sidelines after suffering a knee injury during the Reds’ training camp in Spain last week. It means the Nigel Doughty Academy graduate is likely to miss the start of the campaign, which begins with a trip to Newcastle United on August 6.
Yates played the first 45 minutes of the 3-1 defeat to Coventry City at the Pinatar Arena last Friday night. But he was not in the squad for Forest’s second friendly of the summer, against Burton Albion.
