Nigeria international, Emmanuel Dennis, has been left out of Nottingham Forest’s matchday squad to face Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Saturday.
Dennis has missed Forest’s last three Premier League games.
According to Forest’s manager, Steve Cooper, the Nigerian picked up an injury during their training prior to their 4-3 clash against the Saints, and he is yet to return to the squad.
“Dennis has been injured. He picked up a knock in training before Southampton, and he is still not available.” the Welsh manager said in Nottingham’s pre-match press conference ahead of the Chelsea clash.
Since being acquired by Nottingham in the summer 2022 transfer window, Emmanuel Dennis has been in and out of Cooper’s team.
He has only started six of the Reds’ 18 domestic league games this season while scoring two goals and providing two assists.
The former Club Brugge attacker was beginning to get his footing after demonstrating his worth during training and producing several opportunities during Nottingham’s build-up plays.
But, with three games remaining in the season, the 25-year-old’s injury setback may prevent fans from seeing much of his face on the field.
