Nottingham Forest appear to have been handed an encouraging injury boost during the international break.
Summer signing Omar Richards has yet to make his debut in the Garibaldi, having been sidelined since pre-season with a hairline fracture of the leg. But it seems the 24-year-old has taken a significant step in his recovery.
The club posted a couple of pictures of the defender in his training gear on the grass, complete with broad smile, on social media. And although still early days, that will be seen as a positive sign for Steve Cooper’s side as they aim to bounce back from a tough start to their Premier League campaign.
