Nottingham Forest are appealing the Premier League’s decision to reject their application to reinstate Steve Cook into their 25-man squad.
The defender missed the cut when the Reds submitted their list after the January window closed. But the club want him back in as they cope with an injury crisis at the back.
A request was submitted to the governing body for him to replace Willy Boly, who is facing at least three months on the sidelines with the hamstring problem he sustained in last weekend’s defeat to Fulham. And although that has been turned down, Forest insist the rules permit such a change.
