Nottingham Forest have one more friendly to go before the winter break comes to a close and the competitive action resumes.
The Reds will head to Valencia on Friday to take on the Spanish outfit at their Mestalla Stadium (6.30pm kick-off UK time). It will be Forest’s fourth, and final, run-out having already faced Stoke City, Atromitos and Olympiacos during the World Cup hiatus.
Head coach Steve Cooper viewed last Saturday’s meeting with the latter as a step up in preparations ahead of the season’s restart. And the same applies to Friday night’s clash, with a strong line-up likely to be named.
