Nottingham Forest have been hit by two more injury concerns after their 2-0 win over Leicester City.
Reds head coach Steve Cooper already has a significant absentee list to contend with. And he will be sweating on the fitness of Ryan Yates and Dean Henderson following victory at the City Ground.
Midfielder Yates was substituted at half-time, having taken a whack to the face. It had seemed as though goalkeeper Henderson would also need to come off in the closing minutes having injured himself taking a kick. The Manchester United loanee saw out the game but didn't look entirely comfortable.

"My first impression is, not good," Cooper said of Henderson. "But scans will tell more, with more clarity in the next day or two. We will have to see how that goes. It's a muscle injury, I think it's his thigh, but I'm not sure.
"Ryan had a bang to his face. I didn't see how he did it. But you know what he's like - for him to have a bang to the face, go down in the first place, and then to come off, it is something we will have to assess over the next 24 hours.
"He has just rang me now actually, so he is alright to make a phone call! Let's see what he is like, like Dean, in the next 24 to 48 hours."
Forest defender Willy Boly was not involved against the Foxes, having injured his ankle in the midweek Carabao Cup win over Wolverhampton Wanderers. Striker Taiwo Awoniyi has not featured since suffering a groin problem against Southampton.
The Reds are also still without long-term absentees Moussa Niakhate (hamstring), Omar Richards (hairline fracture of the leg), Cheikhou Kouyate (hamstring) and Giulian Biancone (ACL). And Jesse Lingard is midway through a month-long lay-off with a hamstring issue.
