Three Nottingham Forest players are walking a suspension tightrope as the season nears its World Cup break.
Joe Worrall was booked when he came off the bench as the Reds changed system in the second half of their 1-0 victory over Liverpool. That was his fourth yellow card of the Premier League campaign, having also been cautioned against Newcastle United, Everton and Tottenham Hotspur.
As a result, the 25-year-old joined fellow defenders Steve Cook and Scott McKenna in being on the brink of picking up a one-match ban. Head coach Steve Cooper will no doubt be hoping that doesn’t lead to a scenario where two of the trio pass that threshold in the same game.
