Former Nottingham Forest midfielder Lewis McGugan is thrilled to see Joe Worrall thriving in the Premier League after his early season struggles.
Worrall was named club captain the summer but was left out of seven matches following a difficult start to the season. He has been in excellent form since returning against Tottenham in the Carabao Cup, helping Forest keep four clean sheets in seven games in all competitions.
Speaking on the Garibaldi Red podcast, McGugan said it was fair to leave Worrall out after a slow start to the season, but any number of players could have been dropped at the time and it was easier to take Worrall out of the side given his mentality.
