Banished from first team training Worrall is not currently training with the first team, Daily Mail reported on Thursday.
Impact Worrall is currently not training with the first team after he was told to report to training at a different time and on a different pitch than the rest of the team. There is still no explanation for why Nottingham has done this, but it has been indicated it is not due to behavioral issues and instead is due to the player possibly being sent out during the winter transfer window. The defender will probably not be an option for Nottingham until things are settled, so expect him to have possibly played his last match for Forest.

Sent off against Man Utd Worrall was sent off in the second half of Saturday's match against Manchester United.
Impact Worrall was sent off after a last-minute tackle when Bruno Fernandes was running clear through on goal, meaning he'd be set for a long spell sidelined if the three-match ban is confirmed. Cheikhou Kouyate entered the game Saturday and could spell at center-back while Worrall is suspended. If he's out for three games, he'd be first eligible to return against Brentford on Oct. 1.
