"Tough to be fair" - Nottingham Forest star sends message after coronavirus delay

Nottingham Forest's season hangs in limbo - and that doesn't just displace fans, but players as well from their routine.

With no more live sports, no more Saturday 3pm kick-offs and no more midweek games under the lights until April the 4th, football doesn't know quite what to do with itself.

The spread of the coronavirus has suspended the professional game in England, but that doesn't mean footballers need to hide away - a number have posted updates.

Just like Forest's Matty Cash.

Cash offered a quick update after completing a run to keep his fitness levels up - wishing fans all the best during the delay in play

"Hi guys, Matty here," started the Forest star in a video posted on the Reds' twitter feed.

"Just a quick message for everyone.

"Hopefully everyone is keeping safe and sound and looking after themselves at this tough time.

"Just wanted to say we're all missing football on a Saturday, but health is more important - with our close ones and families around us, and you guys as well.

"I've just finished my run around the golf club - tough to be fair - but we've got to keep on top of it.

"Hopefully we'll be back out there at the City Ground in front of you guys soon.

"Just wanted to wish everyone all the best. Hopefully we can finish off our strong season soon.

"All the best"

Cash then added "stay healthy Reds, see you all soon".

Forest will be set to return to action in April, pending further delay, but it certainly helps that first-team players are willing to stay in touch with a now separated fanbase.
