Nottingham Forest duo's absence against Fulham explained as injury list grows

Nottingham Forest head coach Steve Cooper says Jesse Lingard was not included in the squad to face Fulham due to an injury concern, while Danilo was left out for selection reasons.

Lingard was an unused substitute against Leeds United last weekend, having recovered from an Achilles problem. January signing Danilo had started that game at the City Ground, only to be withdrawn at half-time after picking up a booking.

To add to their injury woes, the Reds lost centre-backs Scott McKenna and Willy Boly to hamstring problems after seven minutes at Craven Cottage. Their 2-0 defeat in the capital brought an end to a five-match unbeaten run in the Premier League.
