It could have been a turning point in Nottingham Forest’s season when striker Lewis Grabban limped off the pitch at Cardiff City.
As the Reds’ top scorer, he had come to the team’s rescue with some important goals as they climbed the Championship table. Grabban had bagged 13 in 29 appearances before injury stopped him in his tracks. Losing him was a blow, both as Forest’s talisman and as club captain.
The form of Keinan Davis and the arrival of Sam Surridge, on transfer deadline day, have seen the Reds cope brilliantly in Grabban’s absence. But it will still be a huge boost to get the front man back for the run-in - with the hope he will return soon after the international break.
