Nottingham Forest 'agreed' not to play loan signing Loic Bade this season, according to a report.
It has been claimed that Forest reached such an agreement with the player's parent club Rennes in October after the right-back failed to kickstart his career at the City Ground.
According to Le Telegramme, per Sport Witness, Rennes will be recalling Bade in the January transfer window and have been working "for several weeks" to find him a new club.

Bade has not featured for Forest at all in competitive action, though got a run-out in the recent friendly against Stoke City at Loughborough University.
It looks like the friendlies during this break could be the only action Bade gets in a Forest shirt before he heads back to Rennes and goes out on loan again. FIFA rules allow players to be registered to three clubs over the course of the season, but they can only play for two.
Bade played for Rennes at the start of the season, so could not go back out on loan in the winter if he makes a competitive appearance for Forest.
