Read our privacy policy Nottingham Forest boss Steve Cooper said the club has to sign players who will make a difference in their fight for Premier League survival. “When that changes and he is available we can cross that bridge, but he’s had a good settling in period now and enjoying life in Nottingham I hope.” One player who is expected to leave is Loic Bade, whose loan spell from Rennes will be ended early having not played a single minute for Forest. “We’re working with him hard and we’re trying to push him without risk of further damage, because that wouldn’t be good at all,” Cooper added. “We’ll give everybody – those two boys, plus some other kicks and knocks from the game – the best chance we can to get them available for Chelsea.”
