Nottingham Forest giving Steve Cook 'full support' after dad suffers cardiac arrest

Nottingham Forest continue to give defender Steve Cook their “full support” after his father suffered a cardiac arrest on Tuesday night.

Following the Reds’ 1-0 defeat at Bournemouth, Cook posted a message of thanks to paramedics for reviving his father before the game. It is not known whether he was aware of what had happened when he lined up against his former club.

The centre-back is unlikely to be involved when Forest play their final game of the regular season on Saturday, at Hull City. But head coach Steve Cooper says he would probably have been left out anyway as he was left with a bloody gash at the Vitality Stadium, following a clash of heads.
