Nottingham Forest have a squad full of leaders, with Ryan Yates, Joe Worrall and Serge Aurier often given the captain’s armband.
The Telegraph released a report this morning, confirming who are seen as team leaders by Reds boss Steve Cooper.
The three names previously mentioned are all included, with Yates, Worrall and Aurier joined by three other first-team members.

Cooper’s Forest team leaders
Within the article written by The Telegraph, it confirms that Cooper has identified the the six players to help give him feedback from the dressing room.
Cooper has identified the players as he and the squad try to fend off the Premier League’s ‘second season syndrome’ and avoid relegation after another bumper summer.
The six players have a great mix of experience and homegrown talent, which can provide the dressing room much-needed boosts at low points throughout the campaign.
Progression under Steve Cooper
It’s a slow process in being able to challenge the elite sides in this division, but Cooper’s side have shown progression this season in looking to be more comfortable and expressive in possession.
They’re small steps in the right direction, but under Cooper’s guidance, we’re certainly in good hands.
The leadership behind the scenes from the playing staff seems to be having a good impact on performances, with small steps being taken and hopefully reflected once more on Sunday.
