Brice Samba causes brief panic for Nottingham Forest fans with cryptic tweet

Nottingham Forest fans have been taking a deep breath of relief after Brice Sampa sent them into a mild frenzy.

Samba has been a steadfast option for Steve Cooper as the Reds won promotion into the Premier League for the first time in 23 years. He has missed just six matches in the Championship this season with Ethan Horvath stepping in briefly after Samba was sent off against Stoke City.

The 28-year-old is a popular character among Forest fans for his brilliant time management skills and social media content.

But the fan-favourite sent Reds fans into mild panic with his five-word tweet, saying: "Was a pleasure to see you". In a matter of five words, Samba sent fans crazy as they worried that the shot-stopper could be leaving the City Ground.

Samba, who has been on Trentside since he signed from Caen in 2019, quickly followed up his initial tweet with an image of himself in a swimming pool in Saint-Tropez with the caption "time off" and a love heart emoji.
