Nottingham Forest goalkeeper Dean Henderson is set to be sidelined for four to six weeks after picking up a muscle injury.
The stopper, who is on loan from Manchester United, picked up the injury during the 2-0 victory over Leicester City at the City Ground.
Head coach Steve Cooper warned post-match that it did not look good for the 25-year-old.

According to Manchester Evening News, scans have revealed the goalkeeper suffered a grade two tear in his thigh.
Wales international Wayne Hennessey is likely to deputise for Henderson, though another signing could be made to provide short-term cover.
Henderson has played in 18 of Forest's 19 Premier League games this season. The only game he missed was against his parent club Manchester United. He was ineligible to play in that game because of a condition included in his loan agreement.
