Rhian Brewster has suffered another injury problem and two Nottingham Forest players have wished him well.

The Sheffield United player hasn’t long returned from an injury and the player injured his hamstring in the weekend win over West Brom.

Brewster was actually on the Forest radar when Steve Cooper first arrived.

The striker was a key member of the England under-17 team that won the World Cup and Cooper wanted a reunion.

Signing him wasn’t possible though.

Slavisa Jokanovic’s sacking opened the door for him to prove himself at United and Paul Heckingbottom fancied him.

Brewster scored four goals from 16 appearances last term but missed the final three months through injury.

Now, disaster has struck again.

With Heckingbottom once again trying to give him a run of games, Brewster has broken down with another hamstring problem.

It has been claimed that it might not be as serious as first feared.

Brewster was close to tears when he left the field against West Brom and it certainly didn’t look good.

The talented striker has previously been praised by Steven Gerrard.

In 2017, the Liverpool legend called him ‘magnificent’ and backed him to enjoy a bright career in the game.

Forest players wish Brewster well

Morgan Gibbs-White and Jonathan Panzo were both part of Cooper’s team that won the under-17 World Cup.

Gibbs-White actually spent last season playing alongside Brewster during a loan spell with the Blades.

He scored 12 goals and claimed 10 assists as they reached the Championship play-offs before losing to Forest.

Both players have reacted with heartfelt messages on Instagram.

Gibbs-White posted: “Your time is coming bro. I promise.”

Panzo was equally sympathetic, telling the striker: “Speedy recovery bro.”

Sheffield United have a tower of injury problems.

They’re threatening to derail their season, although they did claim a big win against West Brom at the weekend.

As for the Forest pair, Gibbs-White has made a decent start to life at Forest.

He will hope for more goals and assists as the season progresses but he’s definitely proving a handful.

In terms of Panzo, he’s doing bits for Coventry and he will hope to star for Forest in the future.
