Willy Boly remains some way off being back in contention for Nottingham Forest as head coach Steve Cooper once again finds himself short on centre-backs.
Scott McKenna has been ruled out for the rest of the season due to the fractured collarbone he sustained in Saturday’s defeat at Liverpool. It leaves Joe Worrall, Felipe and Moussa Niakhate as the options available for Wednesday night’s clash with Brighton and Hove Albion, with a lack of back-up on the bench if the hosts stick with deploying three at the back.
McKenna had only just returned from the hamstring injury which had kept him out since being forced off after just seven minutes against Fulham in February. Boly suffered a similar problem to his defensive partner in that clash at Craven Cottage, but his was of a more serious nature and he faces a fight to feature again this term.
