Steve Cooper's Jonjo Shelvey Nottingham Forest statement amid 'stay at home' claim for ex-Newcastle man

Nottingham Forest manager Steve Cooper has cleared up any rumours about him and former Newcastle United star Jonjo Shelvey after their disagreement last week.

The 31-year-old was dropped by Cooper last week after a clash between player and manager over limited minutes in their previous two matches at Liverpool and Brighton.

It was reported that the star was told to 'stay at home' by Cooper, while the side travelled to the Amex to face off against the Seagulls without him - although the Reds boss has now said Shelvey will be available for their clash against Brentford this weekend despite carrying a calf issue.
