Unlikely hero can step up to play big role for Nottingham Forest in survival scrap

Catching a break with injury woes is proving almost as tough for Nottingham Forest as turning around their miserable away form.

The two might well be linked, given the number of key players the Reds have found themselves without this season. But just when there were hopes the international break could help with an easing of the situation (affording valuable recovery time for some), fresh fears have arisen over the fitness of other players ahead of Saturday’s clash with Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Having previously been hit hard in central defence, Forest now have concerns at the opposite end of the pitch. Brennan Johnson, Andre Ayew and Chris Wood all withdrew from being on duty with their countries, while there is still uncertainty over whether Taiwo Awoniyi will be in contention for this weekend as he makes his way back from a groin strain.
