Angus Gunn admits a January exit from Nottingham Forest could be on the cards if he remains on the sidelines.
The 29-year-old Scotland goalkeeper joined Forest from Norwich on a one-year deal in the summer.
However, he failed to get any game time under Nuno Espirito Santo and since Ange Postecoglou took over from the Portuguese, he has remained as number three to Matz Sels and John Victor.
Gunn’s only two appearances this season were in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers against Denmark and Belarus last month, helping Steve Clarke’s side to four points, and he hopes to keep his place for this week’s home games against Greece and Belarus.
Gunn said: “I went into a situation at the club where I thought I’d be getting, obviously not regular game time, but some game time in terms of cups and things like that.
“It’s not really materialised, which I’m disappointed about.
“But obviously I’ve still got the chance to come away here and get the opportunity to play, like in the last two games.
“The thing for me, it’s not a long-term contract, so there’s definitely options, even in January, to possibly reconsider.”

Gunn believes the two recent international appearances, in the goalless draw against Denmark in Copenhagen and the 2-0 win over Belarus in Hungary, stands him in good stead.
He said: “It is a positive for me that the camps aren’t too far apart.
“It was not that long ago when we had those two games and I felt good.
“I wouldn’t say comfortable but I was happy with my performances and I just want to take the confidence from that into this camp and, hopefully, go again.
“If I look back at the last two games I was very pleased. I wouldn’t say I was overly worked, I think the lads in front of me did extremely well.
“But I was comfortable in everything I did and I was confident and those two games gave me even more confidence.
“So I think, just take it game by game and just try and build on that really.”
