Nottingham Forest defender Giulian Biancone is 'fighting every day' to give 100 per cent for the Reds, according to a social media account that appears to be run by the player's brother.
Since signing this summer, the 22-year-old has made just a single Premier League appearance for Forest. Biancone replaced Cheikhou Kouyate at centre-back for the final 12 minutes against Manchester City before Julian Alvarez scored the sixth and final goal of the game.
After being left out of the matchday squad against Leicester City and Aston Villa after the international break, the Frenchman returned to the bench but was again unused against Wolverhampton Wanderers. That made it the seventh occasion he hasn't featured after being named as a substitute.

Morgan Biancone, who is followed by Giulian on Twitter, tweeted the following message on Sunday afternoon: "What I am sure? He is fighting every day to give you 100 per cent." The post - including a compilation of the player in action back in his homeland - tags the player plus the club's official account.
Several supporters have seen the tweet and sent messages suggesting the defender should be given further game time based on the footage. Jamie said: "If only we needed a fast centre-back who is good on the ball and can carry it out of defence…"
Harry insisted that 'he needs to start' as it 'would give us a massive boost at the back'. Regan Palmer added that it "actually looks like he has a bit of pace and knows when to press."
