Forest boss Cooper says Shelvey back for Brentford

Nottingham Forest boss Steve Cooper says Jonjo Shelvey will be in the squad for their clash at Brentford on Saturday.

Cooper has dropped Shelvey for the past two games over a breach of discipline.

The manager said, "Jonjo is available. He was carrying a knock last week and there were one or two other things," said Cooper.

"It wasn't as much drama as was written about. It's past us, everyone is good and now we are looking forward to Brentford.

"There is no ill feeling in any way, shape or form."

On going to Brentford, Cooper also said: "IvanToney is right up there with the most dangerous number 9s in the league. Like all of these teams you come up against they have serious threats and can attack in a number of ways. It's one thing being aware and another dealing with it.

"They deserve a lot of credit. Having Thomas (Frank) there has been a massive part of that. You have to admire it."
