Head coach Steve Cooper hopes Nottingham Forest can continue to benefit from a “confident” Orel Mangala as they battle for Premier League survival.
The centre of the pitch has been a problem area for the Reds at times this season. Settling upon the best midfield combination has not been easy, while in some games Forest have found themselves overrun.
Mangala has been hampered by injuries during his first season at the City Ground, and he has been in and out of the team even when fit. But he has been in fine form of late amid a run of starts for Cooper’s side.
