Nottingham Forest have “quite a few” injury doubts ahead of Wednesday night’s Carabao Cup tie with Wolverhampton Wanderers.
A place in the semi-finals of the competition is up for grabs at the City Ground (7.45pm kick-off), and the Reds also have a crunch Premier League clash against Leicester City to come on Saturday. But in addition to dealing with a number of long-term absentees, head coach Steve Cooper is sweating on the fitness of other players this week.
Morgan Gibbs-White suffered a recurrence of a calf problem and was not involved in Saturday’s FA Cup defeat at Blackpool, while striker Taiwo Awoniyi was also absent after being forced off with a groin issue in the midweek victory over Southampton. Defender Neco Williams was in the starting XI at Bloomfield Road but was substituted late on after taking a blow to the nose.
