Recent Nottingham Forest news as head coach Steve Cooper considers the Reds’ business during the summer transfer window.
Odysseas Vlachodimos’ arrival on deadline day means custodian Matt Turner will have to battle for his Nottingham Forest jersey.
When determining who begins games, Steve Cooper asserts that there is no definitive No. 1 or No. 2 player. The intensity of the battle among his keepers perfectly captures the breadth of talent the Reds now possess across the team.
Turner, who joined Forest earlier this summer from Arsenal, has had a strong start to his career. Wayne Hennessey is back in shape after recovering from a knee injury, and Vlachodimos, a Greek international, will compete fiercely with him for a spot in the team. When the club announced their 25-man roster earlier this week, Ethan Horvath had nowhere to go because Turner and Vlachodimos had been brought in.
Forest injury report released before crucial Burnley match
Cooper stated before the match against Burnley on Monday night that “there’s great competition.” “The region of the pitch is now quite competitive.
“Really, we have the competition we desire in every area. Goalkeepers are usually a special case, but you can observe how there is rivalry among players at every position by seeing them.
It’s extremely good for you. The goalkeeping coach, Danny Alcock, has put his team in a position where they must now press hard. We are really happy with everyone.
Wayne is back at the gym and in good shape. Due to his age and degree of expertise, he has a significant impact on the group. We’ll attempt to make use of that.The player should be in a situation where he is aware of the importance of doing well. You desire it, after all.
It’s not as easy as having a No. 1 in my opinion. It’s wonderful news for Matt because his wife recently gave birth to a girl, exactly like Cheikhou (Kouyate) did a few days prior.
Every role has the same requirements. The players are fiercely battling for the jersey, and it’s competitive.
