Nottingham Forest have barred Joe Worrall and Scott McKenna from first-team training. Both players have been told to train separately from the senior squad at the City Ground and to arrive for training at a different time than their teammates.

While no official reason for the exile has been given, it is not believed to be related to a behavioral issue. However, both club captain Worrall and defender McKenna have been told that they are free to leave when the January transfer window opens.
Nottingham Forest has been contacted for a response. Worrall has only appeared in six games for Forest this season, while McKenna has only appeared in five. The uncertainty surrounding the duo’s future puts Forest boss Cooper’s job in jeopardy.
The Nottingham Forest manager is expected to be in charge at least for the weekend’s trip to Wolves, but a defeat at Molineux could put him in serious danger of being fired. A 5-0 loss to Fulham on Wednesday night raised more concerns about Cooper’s future at the City Ground, and talkSPORT’s Gabby Agbonlahor believes the Welshman’s time at the club may be coming to an end.
“They have 13 points – Everton have ten points deducted and are only six points behind them.” “It doesn’t look good,” said Agbonlahor. Although Fulham are a good team, Nottingham Forest should not be losing 5-0.
“Steve Cooper seems like a really likeable guy and the fans are singing his name still, but the owners will be looking at the league table.”Cooper’s team currently sits 16th in the Premier League standings with 13 points.
