Nottingham Forest defender Giulian Biancone is 'fighting every day' to give 100 per cent for the Reds, according to a social media account that appears to be run by the player's brother.
Since signing this summer, the 22-year-old has made just a single Premier League appearance for Forest. Biancone replaced Cheikhou Kouyate at centre-back for the final 12 minutes against Manchester City before Julian Alvarez scored the sixth and final goal of the game.
After being left out of the matchday squad against Leicester City and Aston Villa after the international break, the Frenchman returned to the bench but was again unused against Wolverhampton Wanderers. That made it the seventh occasion he hasn't featured after being named as a substitute.
