Nottingham Forest have been given a pre-season boost as last summer’s signing Omar Richards has been spotted taking part in training ahead of the new season.
The left-back joined Forest from Bayern Munich this time last year, with the Reds paying £10 million for the defender. He however has failed to make his debut for the club due to injury.
A hairline fracture in his leg during the summer saw him miss the entire season with the 25-year-old suffering a set-back in December when it was hoped that he would return to training. He was then left out of the 25-man Premier League squad for the second half of the season, meaning that he wouldn’t have been able to make his debut, even if he was fit.
