Nottingham Forest midfielders Liam Bridcutt and Ben Watson have struggled for game time in recent weeks.

According to a report in the Nottingham Post, Liam Bridcutt or Ben Watson are likely to leave Nottingham Forest in the January transfer window.

Bridcutt and Watson have both struggled for game time at the City Ground in recent times, with Aitor Karanka favouring other options.

Watson actually started the campaign in Forest’s starting line-up, but a series of below par performances saw him taken out of the team.

Bridcutt, meanwhile, has really struggled for game time, and he has made just one appearance in the Championship all campaign.

Watson and Bridcutt are proven performers in the second tier, and are likely to be of interest to a number of clubs ahead of the January window.

And Forest are believed to be considering the departure of at least one of the central midfield pair in January.

The Reds are looking to make slight alterations to their squad in the new year, as they aim to strengthen their push for promotion.
