'Something special' - Nottingham Forest star sends hilarious message to teammate ahead of Derby County clash

Nottingham Forest midfielder Samba Sow has sent a hilarious message to team mate Brice Samba.

The Reds midfielder is currently sidelined with a hamstring injury since the beginning of October, with his last outing coming in the 1-0 win over Brentford at the City Ground.

The injury is not thought to be serious, but the 30-year-old is not expected to be fit for this weekend’s tussle with arch rivals in the Sky Bet Championship.

As a result, Sow has sent a funny message to his goalkeeping team mate saying he will receive “something special” should he keep a clean sheet against the Rams.

Sow went on to add “don’t even think about [a] tattoo”, which references a Reds fan who got inked with the word “SAMBA” in tribute to the Forest goalkeeper.

Samba went on to give the fan tickets for their Carabao Cup third round tie against Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium in September.

" @samba_brice clean sheet next game and you will receive something special from me... (don’t even think about tattoo),” Sow wrote on Twitter.
