Nottingham Forest’s injury situation is showing little sign of easing as they head into the final seven games of the season.
The Reds have been without a number of key players as they fight to retain their Premier League status. And head coach Steve Cooper is not expecting the list of those available to change for Saturday’s clash with Liverpool.
Taiwo Awoniyi made his first start since recovering from groin problem when he was in the starting XI for last weekend’s 2-0 defeat to Manchester United, while Renan Lodi had recovered from a knock which had kept him out of the squad for the previous game, against Aston Villa. Moussa Niakhate had been forced off with a hamstring issue during the match at Villa Park but was fit enough to line up against Erik ten Hag’s side.
