Sad news: Nottingham Forest’s top midfielder was ruled out with an injury and was convinced he was going to die.

Nottingham Forest will look to win their final two games of the season for injured defender Juan Fuentes.

The Spaniard collected what the club fear is a serious knee injury just before half-time in Tuesday night’s 3-0 home win over Barnsley, on what was his debut for the club.

He was carried off the pitch on a stretcher after sustaining the problem in a challenge with Dimitri Cavare and subsequently taken to hospital.

Fuentes had signed only a short-term deal with the Reds until the end of the season, and had needed to be patient when it came to waiting for his chance.

Although his future at the City Ground is in doubt, boss Aitor Karanka says the team will target victories over Bristol City on Saturday and then Bolton Wanderers in their last match, in his honour.
