Steve Cooper on 'frustrating' Jesse Lingard injury ahead of Leeds United clash at Nottingham Forest

Nottingham Forest boss Steve Cooper says he'll make a late call on Jesse Lingard's fitness ahead of Leeds United's trip to the City Ground. The former Manchester United playmaker picked up a knock in the warm-up in their Carabao Cup semi-final second-leg at old Trafford.

A win for Forest this weekend would see them move six points clear of Jesse Marsch's side this weekend, but they'll be without a number of key players for the clash at the City Ground. Morgan Gibbs-White (ankle), Dean Henderson (thigh), Taiwo Awoniyi (groin), Cheikhou Kouyate (hamstring) and Moussa Niakhate (hamstring) will all be absent for this weekend.

While Giulian Biancone (ACL) and Omar Richards (hairline fracture of the leg) remain sidelined but have not been included in the Reds’ 25-man Premier League squad for the second half of the season.
