Dean Henderson won't be available to play against Manchester United at Old Trafford on Tuesday night.
Henderson, 25, joined Nottingham Forest on a season-long loan in the summer and that means he's unavailable to play against his parent club in the Premier League.
Erik ten Hag continued with David de Gea as his first-choice goalkeeper after his appointment, but that could change in six months' time, with a decision to be made on Henderson and the Spaniard at the end of the campaign.

Although Henderson was desperate to prove a point on loan at the City Ground this season, Forest have struggled in the Premier League and only Bournemouth (32) have conceded more goals in the top flight than Steve Cooper's side (30).
Regardless, Henderson has earned some praise, amongst criticism elsewhere about his comments on leaving Old Trafford on loan again, so what has the goalkeeper said about his move and his form this season? The MEN have taken a look.
August 2022
In August, Henderson discussed his summer move to Forest and his comments were considered controversial.
Speaking to talkSPORT about the beginning of last season, when he was considered a serious candidate to be United's No 1, Henderson said: "To be quite honest with you, it's probably been the toughest 12 months of my career. It's been tough, it's been hard and I'm so happy I've come out the other end of it now.
"The conversation I had, coming out of the Euros squad [last year], was that you're coming back here [United] to be the No.1 goalkeeper. I got Covid, then unfortunately no-one followed through with anything they told me.
"It's frustrating as well because I turned so many good loans down last summer for that reason and they wouldn't let me go. To sit there and waste 12 months is criminal, really, at my age. I was fuming."
Henderson was also asked whether he'd spoken to Ten Hag before agreeing to sign for Forest on loan for the season.
"No. I didn't want him to see me in training because I knew that he probably wanted to keep me," he added. "So, I told the hierarchy that I need to play football, I don't want to be here and play second fiddle."
October 2022
After an impressive start to the season with strong individual performances, Henderson conceded seven goals from outside the box and he responded to that statistic in October, explaining that it's a 'pathetic' record and something that needs to change.
"It's probably avoidable," Henderson told Sky Sports. "Whether it's giving the ball away on the edge of the box, people turning their backs, the fundamentals of defending. Maybe I could have saved a couple of them, who knows?
"Of course we're working on it and of course I take it personally, but I take it as my responsibility. I look at myself in the mirror every day and I'm like, how can I go from conceding next to none [goals outside of the box] in the last Premier League season I had, to seven in seven games.
"It's pathetic, so for sure I take it personally and I always look at myself first and think about what I can do better to help the team. That's something we've been working on every day and hopefully we can stop that from happening soon.
"You ask any goalkeeper and they think they can save any goal that goes in. That's just the way that goalkeepers think, no matter what happens. It could deflect off your defender and you can think, why didn't I read that earlier?
"This is football, you always strive to be better, we're learning all the time as a team and individually."
Henderson's contract at United expires in 2025 and he could yet have a future at Old Trafford.
