Hwang Ui-jo’s goal at the weekend saw Forest beat neighbours Notts County 1-0 in their first run-out of the summer. A mixture of first-team and young players featured at Meadow Lane, with Cooper naming two different outfield line-ups either side of the break.
At the Cuidad Deportiva de Paterna, the Reds boss names a
starting XI comprised mostly of senior stars. However, a number of youngsters feature on the bench.
The bench is made up of Aaron Bott, Cheikhou Kouyate, Alex Mighten, Josh Bowler, Brandon Aguilera, Mohamed Drager, Dale Taylor, Aaron Donnelly, Joe Gardner and Josh Powell.
As on Saturday, Cooper is expected to make a number of changes during the game as players build up fitness. Injury and unavailability mean a number of players are not involved.
Forest first half: G. Shelvey; Williams, Worrall, Boly, McKenna, Niakhate; Yates, Mangala, Freuler, Danilo; Hwang. Subs: Bott, Kouyate, Mighten, Bowler, Aguilera, Drager, Taylor, Donnelly, Gardner, Powell.
