Nottingham Forest are “hopeful” of soon being able to strengthen their injury-depleted squad as the January window approaches its midway point.
So far, Gustavo Scarpa is the Reds’ only new addition this month. The Brazilian got his first taste of playing in front of the City Ground crowd on Wednesday night when he started the Carabao Cup quarter-final against Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Forest triumphed on spot-kicks against their Premier League rivals, but they were left with a fitness doubt over another one of their players at the end of it. Willy Boly was forced off after injuring his ankle, adding to a list which already includes Taiwo Awoniyi, Jesse Lingard, Moussa Niakhate, Omar Richards, Cheikhou Kouyate and Giulian Biancone in the treatment room.
