McKenna could play for Forest again this season
NOTTINGHAM Forest skipper Paul McKenna may not be ruled out for the rest of the season, Billy Davies has revealed.
The influential midfielder is not as badly injured as first feared.

Paul McKenna
Scans have revealed that McKenna has damaged the medial ligament in his knee – but not as severely as initially thought.
Davies is still facing several weeks without his skipper.
But he said: "The extent of Paul's problem is not as bad as we first feared.
"He will be out of my plans for several weeks but knowing Paul as I do I wouldn't necessarily rule him out for the rest of the season."
McKenna does not require surgery to the injury, which is in his right knee.
He will miss the weekend trip to face his former club Preston, when goalkeeper Lee Camp will take the armband.

“C W TANN, I do hope you're not one of these internet freaks that pray on the vulnerable. I hope you're not a 20 stone Russian female shot putter who's never kicked a football in her life.”

“Chuck mate, do you watch Forest games? I didn't take to Macca to start with but you can see his influence by the fact that when he plays poorly, so do the whole team. He takes command and he calms the play. He may not be sexy but we are going to miss his influence.”

“Whats the point in rushing Mckenna back? We've got players who are much better on the ball and contribute more to the team. Suppose Billy has his favourites.”

“Any news on a new stadium when we go up?
I love that the Nottingham world cup bid succeeded i) Without a ground ii) without any planning permission iii) with the city and county arguing iv) without any funding v) no transport plans. AND it still beat the Leicester and Derby bids who have stadia.”
