Nottingham Forest could lose Djed Spence in January if Middlesbrough recall the youngster from his loan deal.
According to the Atheltic, newly-appointed Boro manager Chris Wilder could decide on bringing the 21-year-old right-back back to the club in two months time.

Wilder’s system uses fullbacks to great effect. And Spece could be a player who is used by the former Sheffield United manager to fill in the right-wingback position.
