Ryan Yates' comeback was a "big boost" for Nottingham Forest, but head coach Steve Cooper says the midfielder still isn't quite 100 percent fit.
Yates made his return in last Sunday's 2-2 draw against Everton, coming off the bench to set up Brennan Johnson's second goal as the hosts twice came from behind to clinch a point. It was his first appearance since being forced off against Bournemouth in January.
Cooper has said the background to the Nigel Doughty Academy graduate's absence is "his story to tell". But he says Yates has made a big difference since linking up with his teammates again.
