Nottingham Forest are sweating on the fitness of defender Scott McKenna and attacker Morgan Gibbs-White ahead of Monday’s crunch clash at Leicester City.
The pair were forced to withdraw from international duty, with Scotland and England Under-21s respectively. And they are injury doubts for next week’s trip to the King Power Stadium, when the Reds will be out to stop a run of four successive defeats.
McKenna had played the full 90 minutes in each of Scotland’s victories over Ukraine and Republic of Ireland, and showed no obvious sign of injury. But he pulled out of the national squad, ahead of Tuesday night’s Nations League match against Ukraine in Poland due to a knee strain. Gibbs-White, meanwhile, did not feature for England, withdrawing before games against Italy and Germany, suffering from a foot problem.
