Nottingham Forest boss Steve Cooper is hoping for a triple injury boost when his side travel to take on Leeds United Tuesday evening. Forest make the trip to Elland Road looking for their first win since they beat the Whites in the reverse fixture at the City Ground.
Their chances of doing so will be improved if Cooper gets the injury news he's hoping for, with the possibility of a triple boost to his squad. Serge Aurier, Gustavo Scarpa and André Ayew’s injuries will be assessed ahead of Forest’s trip to Leeds and all three have a chance of featuring.
Aurier and Scarpa were absent from the squad for the weekend's 1-1 draw at home to Wolves. Aurier and Ayew sustained injuries while away on international duty for Ivory Coast and Ghana respectively, but the knocks are not too serious and there is a chance both, along with Scarpa, could feature at Elland Road.

“Serge is still recovering,” Cooper said in his press conference ahead of the game. “We’ll give him every chance of being available but we still haven’t decided. We are as we were before Wolves. A couple of lads have obviously returned and it was great to get them back on the pitch.
"(Ryan) Yatesy won’t be available with his shoulder injury, the other guys we haven’t ruled in or out yet. It's still a mixed bag in terms of availability.”
