Sky Bet Championship: Nottingham Forest sweating on Chris Cohen injury

Nottingham Forest face an anxious wait to discover the extent of Chris Cohen's latest knee injury.

Cohen, who has only recently recovered from cruciate ligament damage sustained last November, looks to have suffered a third serious knee injury in as many years after limping off during the 1-1 draw against Derby at the City Ground.

Forest's skipper will go for a scan when the swelling eases.

After Sunday's game, Reds boss Stuart Pearce said: "Chris deserves some luck, of course he does. He is a fantastic captain and a fantastic man.

"I will have a chat with the physios and we will see how things turn out. But, for his sake, you hope that it is not serious.

"He is a credit to this club and we do not want to lose him for any period of time."

East Midlands rivals Derby were also Forest's opponents when Cohen suffered his first knee injury in September 2011. Last season, the versatile 27-year-old again sustained ligament damage in a Championship game against Burnley.

On each previous occasion, Cohen has been on the sidelines for almost 12 months.

Meanwhile, midfielder Andy Reid also came off against Derby on Sunday with a suspected groin injury while striker Matty Fryatt missed the match because of a pelvic problem, leaving Pearce to ponder a foray into the loan market.

"I did not have my eyes on anyone in the loan window before this game," said the Forest manager. "But now, having collected a few injuries, we will have to reassess and look at things this week, I think.

"It is too early to say how serious the injuries are, we will let things settle down. It would be remiss of me to surmise what the problems might be. We will let the dust settle, then we will look at the injury situation.

"Matty Fryatt does have a pelvic problem, but we will have a look at that and see what course of action we need to take."
