Nottingham Forest injury state of play ahead of Manchester United clash

Steve Cooper's side head to Old Trafford on Saturday buoyed by having claimed their first three points of the season. Chris Wood's late winner saw Sheffield United beaten 2-1 at the City Ground last Friday night, after Taiwo Awoniyi had opened the scoring for the hosts.

What has been said: “With him being out for so long, getting back up to the demands of a Premier League training environment, he has just got to get his body robust enough,” Cooper said prior to the first game of this season. “Unfortunately, once he gets to a certain level, he keeps getting little knocks and niggles that keep him out for another week or two weeks. He’s continuing to go through that.

What we know: The centre-back was forced off during Forest’s pre-season friendly with Valencia after dislocating his elbow when landing awkwardly from an aerial challenge. He has returned quicker than expected, coming off the bench late on against the Blades after getting some minutes for the B team a few days earlier.

Last week, Felipe said via a translator: “It’s really good, much better than before. The recovery is going really well. I am just in the final phases of recovery for being back playing. What has been said: “He was playing with a hernia at the end of the season and managed to get to the end of the season, which is typical Harry,” Cooper said last month. “Even though he wasn’t starting too many games, we needed him to come on and he played an important role. He was never going to give that up because of what was at stake last season - typical H. But he’s had the operation and is on the rehab process.
