'A solution' - Forest boss Sabri Lamouchi has his say on Alexander Milosevic exit

Nottingham Forest boss Sabri Lamouchi has had his say on the departure of Alexander Milosevic this week.

The Swedish defender left the City Ground “by mutual consent” after not featuring under Lamouchi.

Milosevic joined the Reds from AIK Solna in February and made 12 appearances for the club last term, but found himself down the pecking order this season.

The closest he came to getting on the pitch was as an unused substitute in the Carabao Cup defeat to Arsenal last month - the only time he was included in a matchday squad.

“Why do I need to talk about that - he is not at the club anymore?” Lamouchi asked, before adding: “I can talk about all the players who are at the club.

“The club and him (Milosevic) found a solution, so it was a good deal for all parties.

“I wish him all the best.”

Forest have fellow centre-backs Michael Dawson, Joe Worrall, Chema, Tobias Figueiredo, Yohan Benalouane and Michael Hefele still on the books.

Dawson is close to returning from a calf injury, while Benalouane has started running again following back surgery. Hefele, though, remains sidelined with an Achilles problem.

But asked if Milosevic’s departure would free up space in the squad or funds ahead of the January transfer window, Lamouchi was giving nothing away.

“You are talking about the next window,” he said.

“We have 11 or 12 games to play until then, so I just want to focus on Luton (on Saturday) because after two losses we need to come back and take some points.

“Our next game is away, after that we will have the most important game for our fans, at home (against Derby County).

“We just want to focus on those two games.”
