Nottingham Forest fans have hit back at their Premier League counterparts following the Reds' request to restore Steve Cook to their Premier League squad.
According to the The Telegraph, Forest are applying to the league to have the veteran centre-back reinstated to their 25-man roster following an injury crisis which has decimated Steve Cooper’s defensive options. Cook was left out of the squad for the second half of the season after a January loan move failed to materialise.
Scott McKenna and Willy Boly face lengthy spells on the sidelines after coming off injured early in Saturday’s 1-0 defeat at Fulham. Moussa Niakhate has only recently returned to training following injury, leaving Felipe and Joe Worrall as the club’s only available central defenders ahead of Saturday’s clash with leaders Manchester City.
