Nottingham Forest: Keinan Davis now fit to face Sheffield United
Nottingham Forest striker Keinan Davis is fit for his side’s Championship playoff clash with Sheffield United, coming as a late boost after he was initially ruled out.
The Lowdown: Promotion showdown
Steve Cooper’s side face their biggest game of the season to date on Saturday, as they host the Blades in the first leg of their semi-final clash.
A long-awaited return to the Premier League is now within touching distance for Forest, who are arguably the favourites to seal promotion at this point, given their form to end the campaign.
On Friday, Nottinghamshire Live reported direct from Cooper’s pre-game press conference that Davis would miss the clash with United through injury, but a twist emerged late on Friday evening.
Will Nottingham Forest get promoted this season?
Yes
No
The Latest: Journalist drops Davis claim
Taking to Twitter, Midlands reporter and commentator Trent Hutson claimed that the youngster is now available for the game:
“I’m told Keinan Davis is fit and will travel to be a part of NFFC’s 18-man squad against SUFC.”
The Verdict: Huge boost for Forest
The 24-year-old, hailed as ‘incredible‘ by EFL pundit George Elek, has scored five goals in 15 appearances in 2021/22 to date and he could be a key weapon from the substitutes’ bench if he doesn’t start proceedings.
According to Sofascore, Davis racks up two shots per game and creates over one chance per game, so his availability adds yet another potent weapon to Cooper’s arsenal.
Squad depth is going to be vital in these two legs against the Blades, and hopefully the final, and Davis is someone who could play a massive part in the next few weeks.
