Ryan Bertrand has an operation on Tuesday on his knee that he twisted at Man City. Timothy Castagne probably has another seven or eight weeks.“So I don’t think there’s too many more to come back.

Forest are not having too bad of a season – for once, in the modern era. They are currently eighth in the second English division, the Championship. Obviously there were glorious times for the Reds, specifically under the late, great Brian Clough. They lifted an English top league title and won the earlier edition of the Champions League (the European Cup) twice.
