Nottingham Forest ace told he should not be 'underestimated' after difficult season

Nottingham Forest's Tyrese Fornah could turn his season around at Reading.

The 23-year-old joined the Berkshire side from the Reds on a season-long loan deal, but has struggled to cement a spot in the starting eleven in recent months. Fornah played regularly for Paul Ince's side in the first few months after his move from the City Ground, but has now made just four starts in 16 games.

An injury over Christmas, however, did not do him any favours His most recent outings were in the FA Cup, in the defeat at Manchester United, and last weekend's 2-2 draw against Watford.

But if he is to force his way back into Ince's team, he must take his chances, starting from this weekend when the Royals face a trip to Sunderland followed by a home match against Rotherham United next Tuesday. Fornah is likely to be the replacement for Mamadou Loum who is suspended.

If he catches the eye, his teammate Loum is likely to find it tough to retain his place in the squad. In a report from BerkshireLive, it highlights that the midfielder's strengths should not be 'underestimated'.

It reads: "This is Fornah's chance to show he can cut it at Championship level on a regular basis and finishing the season strongly would be beneficial to both Royals and himself. While his numbers in front of goal do not stand out, Fornah's energy and work rate have and he has been an integral part of the side when he has played.

"At 83.5 per cent, he has the highest pass success percentage (according to WhoScored) of any of the senior players at Reading. His ability to not only keep possession but keep the play ticking over in the middle of the pitch should not be underestimated."
