Carlisle boss Paul Simpson has praised Nottingham Forest for their "fantastic gesture" following Fin Back's injury setback.
The 20-year-old had been on loan at Carlisle since the summer and was in fine form for the League Two side before picking up a hamstring injury. He has since undergone surgery and is expected to be sidelined for three-to-four months.
Back has since returned to the City Ground to begin his rehabilitation. Simpson revealed Forest will cover his salary while he's injured and his loan at Brunton Park will 'stay open.'
