Nottingham Forest boss Steve Cooper says midfielder Orel Mangala has suffered a slight setback in his recovery from a hamstring injury.
The summer signing was forced off with less than an hour gone in the 1-1 draw at Everton last month. Although initially hoped it was due to “fatigue”, it then became clear a spell on the sidelines would be required and he has been out of action since.
Last weekend, Mangala posted a picture of himself in training with his teammates, captioning it “back”. But Cooper was giving little away over whether he could be in contention to be involved against Fulham on Friday night.
