Nottingham Forest have been hit by further bad news on the injury front, with Morgan Gibbs-White facing a spell on the sidelines.
The attacker was forced off with little more than 15 minutes to go of last week’s Carabao Cup semi-final first leg defeat to Manchester United, having suffered an ankle problem. Head coach Steve Cooper says the summer signing is now expected to be ruled out “for a little while”.
Ahead of Wednesday night’s second leg at Old Trafford, which the Reds go into 3-0 down, midfielder Ryan Yates is still struggling with a suspected virus and Jack Colback is also a doubt. Striker Chris Wood is cup-tied but has been hampered by illness, too.
