Nottingham Forest boast the longest injury list in the Premier League with a total of ten players unavailable or unlikely to feature for the Tricky Trees.
Despite criticism from all corners of the punditry world, signing thirty players has probably saved Cooper’s side from a lot of trouble this season, providing important cover in key positions.
The arrival of the likes of Felipe and Keylor Navas have saved Forest from a disastrous injury situation and although results have not been what fans would have hoped, there is still enough in the dressing room for Forest to secure Premier League survival.
In preparation for the final run in which will decide Forest’s Premier League fate, we take a look at their extensive injury list and the potential return dates of some key players this season.
9. Wily Boly
The dominant and experienced centre half is likely to be out for the remainder of the season. Boly had been integral to Forest’s great run of form post-world cup and to see him ruled out is a massive blow to the stability of Cooper’s Forest side. Expected return date: 23/24 season | Getty Images
10. Giulian Biancone
The promising and versatile Frenchman suffered a season-ending ACL injury and will be absent for the rest of the season as he recovers. Expected return date: 23/24 season. | AFP via Getty Images
