Nottingham Forest are set to receive a windfall for allowing seven of their players to represent their countries at the upcoming World Cup.
The trio of Brennan Johnson , Neco Williams and Wayne Hennessey were all named in Rob Page’s Wales squad, while Cheikhou Kouyate has been selected by Senegal and Remo Freuler will travel to Qatar with Switzerland. Goalkeeper Ethan Horvath and summer signing Brandon Aguilera have also been called-up by USA and Costa Rica respectively after impressing while out on loan.
Every Premier League club is set to be compensated by FIFA for allowing members of their squad to go to the tournament. Manchester City, Chelsea, Tottenham and Manchester United will recoup over £1.5million by the end of group stages, as a result of having the most players out on international duty.
