Nottingham Forest forgotten man Fouad Bachirou will be in the squad for this weekend’s trip to Swansea – and supporters have reacted on Twitter.
The Reds make the long trip to Wales for the FA Cup fourth round fixture with injuries piling up.
Ryan Yates hobbled off on Wednesday night during the defeat to Middlesbrough and will miss out tomorrow.
With Harry Arter and Jack Colback also in the treatment room, Bachirou could find himself thrust into action.
The 30-year-old arrived at the club from Malmo in the summer, where he had spent two seasons.
He cost the Reds £600,000 but suffered a serious hamstring injury in the Carabao Cup game against Barnsley.
The 18-cap Cosmoros international will need to shake off the ring-rust if he is called upon but Chris Hughton has definitely confirmed he will be with the squad tomorrow.
It will be interesting to see what team the Forest boss does pick tomorrow.
In the previous round he chose to shuffle his pack and the performance was pretty good against Cardiff City.
Swansea are in far better form, however, and it could be a team featuring more first-team regulars at the Liberty Stadium.
Following news of Bachirou’s involvement, here is what supporters are saying on Twitter.
