Nottingham Forest defender Giulian Biancone has suggested that he’s ready to return to full training after a serious knee injury.
The versatile performer suffered an ACL rupture back in October and that ruled him out for the remainder of the 2022/23 campaign
It proved a big blow for the player. He had shown flashes during his fleeting appearances that he could be a very useful player for Steve Cooper.
Biancone only played for 16 minutes in the Premier League and also made an appearance in the first round of the Carabao Cup at Grimsby.
Disaster struck during a training session shortly after Forest beat Liverpool in October. It quickly became clear that Biancone would be out for some time.

Biancone was signed by Forest from Troyes. He made 33 appearances in Ligue 1 last season and Forest parted wth a small feee to sign him.
Ultimately, it woulde appear that he was added to provide competitions. Given Forest’s injury record, however, he’d have likely played plenty of football had he stayed fit.
