Midfielder Ryan Yates has been ruled out of Nottingham Forest’s clash with Leeds United on Tuesday night as injuries continue to limit head coach Steve Cooper’s options.
The 25-year-old remains sidelined with the shoulder problem which forced him off in the 2-1 defeat to Newcastle United before the international break. Meanwhile, right-back Serge Aurier and midfielder Gustavo Scarpa are doubts for the midweek clash, having also missed out against Wolverhampton Wanderers.
The Reds’ 2-2 draw on Saturday has left them one point above the bottom three going into the midweek match at Elland Road. Leeds are one point below them as the battle for survival proves to be one of the tightest in recent memory.
