Latest Nottingham Forest news as Steve Cooper's Reds prepare for Premier League clash with Manchester United
Chris Wood’s winner put points on the board for Nottingham Forest as they got their season up and running with victory over Sheffield United last week.
Injury update If the Reds were hoping for better luck on the injury front this season, their fortunes have been a little slow to turn. Cooper is still without some players, while others are not yet up to full match fitness - including Brennan Johnson and Taiwo Awoniyi. “Hopefully it comes around quick, because I've been out for about six weeks now. It’s a long time. I just want to get back on the grass.
“I had to be careful, because I’ve had surgery on this knee before, with an ACL. It’s all good now and I’m getting there. Fingers crossed it’ll be two weeks. As a player, you want to get back on the grass as quickly as possible so you can get back to helping the lads.” “But I can guarantee my strength doesn’t come from my hair! It comes from my passion for football and my passion for my work. Even with the short hair, I’ll still be strong and have a very good season.”
“Scarpa may have had a good performance, but that was also due to the help of his teammates. So we continue to work. We definitely need to improve, this will take time. What we clearly lack is an improvement in finishing effort and that comes down to accuracy to show the quality we have.” Memorable week It has been quite the start to the season for Awoniyi, even as he continues to work his way back to full fitness from injury. He bagged his second of the campaign to open the scoring against the Blades, making it six games in a row in which he has found the back of the net. And the celebrations were already in full swing before that, as the forward and his wife welcomed a new arrival.
