NottinghamshireLive has the latest Nottingham Forest news, with former loan custodian Dean Henderson injuring himself on his Crystal Palace start against Manchester United.
Roy Hodgson, the manager of Crystal Palace, has provided an update on Dean Henderson’s injuries.
On Tuesday night, the former Nottingham Forest loan custodian suffered an injury on his debut for Palace against previous club Manchester United in the Carabao Cup. At Old Trafford, he was forced off after only 19 minutes.
He is now a doubt for Palace’s Premier League meeting against the same opponents on Saturday, as well as the match against Forest at Selhurst Park on October 7. Following his successful loan at the City Ground, Forest attempted to sign Henderson from United during the summer.

The latest Nottingham Forest news is that former Reds custodian Dean Henderson has been forced off injured on his Crystal Palace start against Manchester United.
Dean Henderson, a former Nottingham Forest custodian, was forced off with an injury in his Crystal Palace debut.
Last season, he was on loan at the City Ground and appeared in 18 Premier League games before suffering an injury that ended his season early. He was replaced by fellow loanee Keylor Navas, although Forest wanted to re-sign Henderson this summer.
Forest were thought to prefer a loan with an option to buy over a permanent transfer, maybe due to Henderson’s previous injury record. United and Forest both stuck to their respective positions, therefore a move never happened.Forest were thought to prefer a loan with an option to buy over a permanent transfer, maybe due to Henderson’s previous injury record.

Henderson instead joined Palace this summer and made his debut in the Carabao Cup against his previous side Manchester United on Tuesday evening. He was forced to leave the game less than 20 minutes in due to a groyne injury.
On social media, Forest fans have been responding to Henderson’s injury. “Awful bad luck for Dean Henderson, but 100% vindicates the #NFFC’s decision not to buy him,” one remarked. All the Manchester United fans who were complaining about us not going ahead with the transaction may now stop.”
“There were rumours Forest wouldn’t buy Hendo because he couldn’t kick a football with his injury,” another added. That is why the loan deal was offered, as well as why we desired a large number of games.
