Nottingham Forest boss Steve Cooper hasn’t ruled out seeking permission for Dean Henderson to play in the Carabao Cup semi-finals.
The on-loan goalkeeper was the Reds’ hero as they beat Wolverhampton Wanderers on penalties in the quarter-finals on Wednesday night. He made three big saves in the game as it finished 1-1 after 90 minutes, and he then thwarted two of the visitors’ spot-kicks, leaving Forest to triumph 4-3 in the shootout.
Cooper’s side have been drawn against Henderson’s parent club, Manchester United, in the next round, however, which potentially rules him out of both legs. Written permission would have to be granted by United for him to feature, which seems unlikely to happen.
