Barrie McKay did not feature for Nottingham Forest against Wolverhampton Wanderers on Saturday.
Nottingham Forest returned to winning ways in the Championship on Saturday afternoon, as they got the better of Wolverhampton Wanderers 2-0 away from home at the Molineux Stadium.
Forest headed into the match against Wolves on the back of a 1-0 defeat to Aston Villa at the City Ground in the league.
Wolves have been the best team in the Championship this season, and the Wanderers were expected to win against the Reds.
Aitor Karanka’s side, though, did not read the script. Forest scored two goals in quick succession just before half time to pick up all three points from the encounter.
Everton-owned Kieran Dowell and Ben Osborn scored in the 40th and the 43rd minute respectively.
One Forest player who did not feature against Wolves was Barrie McKay. Manager Karanka told BBC Radio Nottingham that it was his decision to leave out the former Rangers winger from the 18-man squad.
McKay joined Forest from Rangers in the summer of 2017 when Mark Warburton was the manager of the Reds.
The Scotland international has scored five goals and provided seven assists in 20 Championship starts for the Reds so far this season.
Some Forest fans believe that Karanka’s decision to leave out McKay suggests that the winger is on his way out of the City Ground.
