Steve Cooper has confirmed Nottingham Forest defender Neco Williams will not play again this season after suffering a broken jaw.
Former Liverpool star Williams, 22, collided with team-mate Brennan Johnson during Forest's 3-1 win against Brighton on Wednesday. The Wales international has undergone an operation to fix the break and will watch the rest of Forest's campaign from the stands.
The injury to Williams is a big blow for Forest, who are battling relegation. Steve Cooper's side have spent nearly £200million on fresh talent since their promotion to the Premier League last May but sit 17th in the table, just one point above the relegation zone.
