Nottingham Forest facing transfer dilemma as Steve Cooper sets out stance

Nottingham Forest are still weighing up whether to bring in another goalkeeper while first-choice Dean Henderson is sidelined.

Manchester United loanee Henderson is expected to be ruled out for at least a month with the thigh injury he suffered in the 2-0 victory over Leicester City. But with the Reds not in Premier League action again until February 5, when they host Leeds United, the club are debating whether they need to dip into the transfer market for cover.

Before that match against Leeds, Forest have a two-legged Carabao Cup semi-final against Henderson’s parent club, which he would have been ineligible to feature in anyway - potentially limiting the impact of his absence. Barring a new arrival between now and Wednesday night’s first leg against United at the City Ground, Wayne Hennessey will keep his spot after replacing Henderson in the starting XI for the weekend’s 1-1 draw at Bournemouth, with Jordan Smith as back-up.
