Nottingham Forest suffer Jesse Lingard blow at Manchester United as Roy Keane gives verdict

Nottingham Forest were dealt an injury blow before kick-off in Wednesday night's Carabao Cup semi-final second leg against Manchester United at Old Trafford.

Jesse Lingard had been named in Steve Cooper's starting line-up, against his former club, but had to withdraw late on after apparently picking up an injury in the warm-up. Lingard's place in the side was taken by Emmanuel Dennis, while Alex Gibson-Hammond was added to the bench.

Former Forest and United star Roy Keane told Sky Sports: "Jesse getting an injury in the warm-up, it’s never nice for a player and the manager, but they’ve got options and Dennis is coming in. Listen, it’s not the end of the world but it’s not ideal. Hopefully Jesse is not too badly injured."
