Lyle Taylor sends message after Nottingham Forest decision

Nottingham Forest striker Lyle Taylor has taken to his Instagram page after being left out of Steve Cooper's 25-man Premier League squad.

Taylor, 32, made the bench for the Reds' opening two games of the season against Newcastle and West Ham, but has not been in the matchday squad for the previous four outings.

After 22 players arrived at the City Ground during the summer, Taylor and midfielders Cafu and Harry Arter were all left out of the 25-man squad submitted to the Premier League.. The striker's future is now set to be the subject of speculation and looks likely to be away from the City Ground.

Following the release of the 25-man squad on Wednesday, Taylor took to his personal Instagram account on social media. He re-shared a video of him scoring for Birmingham City last season against West Brom on his story, with two blue hearts alongside the footage.

Taylor played 14 games for Blues last campaign, scoring five goals under Lee Bowyer, after signing on loan in January. He helped ensure the West Midlands side were not dragged into a relegation battle before returning to NG2 in the summer.

Now under the management of John Eustace, Blues have scored the joint-fewest goals in the league alongside Coventry City, who have played three less games, and a move for Taylor could be on the cards come January.
