'Nobody we can't replace' - Nottingham Forest fans react to latest injury blow

Nottingham Forest look to be without full-back Carl Jenkinson for their next few games.

Forest boss Sabri Lamouchi has confirmed that the right-back has picked up an ankle injury that will rule him out of action for “a few weeks”.

Jenkinson joined Forest in the summer from Premier League outfit Arsenal, and has gone on to establish himself as the Reds’ first-choice right-back.

The injury to Jenkinson means that versatile midfielder Matty Cash is likely to play on the right of Forest’s defence against Swansea City at the weekend.

Lamouchi also confirmed that on-loan striker Rafa Mir is unavailable for the clash against the Swans, but his injury is not thought to be serious.

After they heard the news, Forest fans took to social media to express their thoughts at the latest injury dilemma, and whether they are confident that the Reds can cope through it.

Here is a selection of what they had to say...

Lee Carrington: “Massive blow. Much stronger defensively with Jenkinson.”

Stuart Goodliffe: “Matty Cash ready and able - stay fit Grabban.”

James Livingston: “Still got a team just as strong without them.”

Dave Astbury: “Jenkinson's absence is a blow but Mir, thus far, doesn't appear good enough.”

Gary Tugwell: “Luckily nobody we can't replace.”

Will Tooley: “Not really a blow if I’m honest.”

Mikey H: “Solution - Matty Cash.”

Tiegan Oliver: “Not gonna lie, I’ve actually been more impressed with Cash.”
