Nottingham Forest are expected to send goalkeeper George Shelvey out on-loan to continue his development away from the City Ground, but it may not be until after January.
The 20-year-old shot-stopper was recalled from a loan spell at Mansfield Town earlier in January after he found playing time limited with the Stags.
He made just three appearances - all of which came in the EFL Trophy - as he found himself back-up 'keeper to Manchester United's Nathan Bishop.
