Forest Head Coach Steve Cooper has confirmed defender Giulian Biancone will miss the remainder of the campaign after sustaining an ACL injury.

The 22-year-old arrived in the summer from Ligue 1 side Troyes and following scans on his knee, the results have confirmed the extent of the injury.

“Unfortunately Giulian picked up a serious knee injury in training which will rule him out until the end of the season. 

“It’s really difficult news for him and a blow for us because although he hasn’t featured too much, he was making good progress and is a player we really like.

“We’re gutted for him because it’s a serious one and it’s a blow to the group.”

We wish Giulian well with his rehabilition and for a speedy recovery.
