Steve Cooper insists Jesse Lingard remains "determined" to play his part in helping Nottingham Forest avoid relegation this season.
The 30-year-old has struggled in his first season at the City Ground, which has been hampered by a niggling injury. Lingard has been in and out Cooper's squad since January, missing a total of eight games so far.
He has featured just three times since the turn of the year and is yet to score a goal or make an assist in that time. However, Cooper believes the persistent setbacks will not impact the midfielder's loyalty to the Forest cause as they prepare to face his old side Manchester United this afternoon (4:30pm).
