Yates (hamstring) is making good progress and working on grass with the sports science team, coach Sean Dyche said in a press conference, according to Jak Netting from Vavel. "Ryan is looking stronger. He's not quite with us yet, but he's on the grass working very actively with the sports science team, which is a good sign."

Yates is making good progress in the rehabilitation of a hamstring injury since he is currently working on grass with the sports science team. The midfielder is likely still several weeks away from making his return to the match squad, but his progression is a good sign according to coach Sean Dyche. Yates is expected to hold a rotational role for Forest once fully back fit, therefore his absence has a minor impact on the starting XI.
