Nottingham Forest boss Chris Hughton has confirmed that Harry Arter will be back in his squad for this evening’s game against Coventry City – and supporters are keen to see him start.
The 30-year-old missed games against Luton Town and Middlesbrough with an ankle injury which he picked up during training.
Arter is set to return this evening though and Hughton must now decide whether to restore him to the starting line-up or not.
The midfielder signed for the club in the summer from Bournemouth and has looked pretty good in the games he has played for Forest.
Ryan Yates and Jack Colback have played together in midfield during the last two games.
It’s fair to say both players like to sit deep though and that has caused the Reds some problems recently.
It’s vital that Forest start games better and Arter’s energy might be a useful asset against the Sky Blues.
Following news that the 17-cap international is back in the squad, supporters have been reacting on Twitter.
It seems as though he return will be welcomed with plenty of fans wanting him to make an instant return to the starting line-up.
Here is what Forest fans are saying about Arter…
Yes, he changes the whole dynamic of our midfield when he plays
