Nottingham Forest will make a late call on Ryan Yates’ fitness for Wednesday night’s Carabao Cup semi-final first leg against Manchester United.
The midfielder was substituted just before half-time of Saturday’s 1-1 draw at Bournemouth, with boss Steve Cooper saying he had felt unwell during the game. He had also been forced off a week earlier, against Leicester City, after taking a whack to the face.
Cooper says there is still a question mark over whether Yates will be available to take on United at the City Ground. The 25-year-old had been replaced by debutant Danilo on the south coast, but Jack Colback and Lewis O’Brien could also come into contention for a starting spot if Yates does not get the green light.
