Impact This doesn't sound like a issue for Danilo and it's unclear why Cooper even brought it up since an ankle sprain should be healed after two weeks. When healthy, he's been a regular in the XI, but given a couple new signings, his minutes aren't as guaranteed as they were a season ago when he had three goals and two assists in 13 appearances.

Fortunately for Forest, Callum Hudson-Odoi came into the XI last match and fit seamlessly with the group.
