Nottingham Forest: Goalkeeper John Victor ruled out for the season with knee injury

Nottingham Forest goalkeeper John Victor has been ruled out for the rest of the season with a knee injury.

The 29-year-old sustained the injury against Aston Villa earlier this month and sources have told BBC Sport he will not return this term.

With only Angus Gunn as back-up to Matz Sels, Forest are now in talks to sign Wolves goalkeeper Jose Sa before Monday’s transfer deadline.

Victor and Sels have shared goalkeeping duties at the City Ground this season.

Any move for Sa would hinge on the Molineux side, who are bottom of the Premier League, being able to find a replacement.

Victor came off in the 3-1 defeat at Aston Villa on 3 January after injuring his knee while conceding Villa’s third to John McGinn.

Boss Sean Dyche said earlier this month: “John Victor is injured unfortunately and has had a minor operation on his knee, so he’ll be out for a little bit. We’re not sure on the timescale yet.”

Victor joined Forest from Botafogo in the summer and has made nine appearances.

He replaced Sels in the Premier League for five games before sustaining the injury at Villa Park.

Forest have also been without striker Chris Wood since October, with last season’s 20-goal top-scorer having surgery on his knee in December.
