The winger has been on trial at Nottingham Forest from Barnsley.
The Barnsley winger Louis Walsh was notably absent from Nottingham Forest’s Under-23 side for Friday’s fixture against Burnley.
Walsh has been on trial with Forest ahead of his Barnsley contract expiring and is said to have impressed during Monday’s win at Sheffield Wednesday.
But for those wondering whether the 18-year-old might have blown his chance to earn a contract at the City Ground, there is perhaps a more straightforward reason for his absence.
It is understood that FA rules permit trialists to appear in a maximum of two under-23 games – a limit Walsh has already reached after appearing as a substitute against Coventry City last month.
In that case, it may not be the last those of a Nottingham Forest persuasion hear about Walsh.
The Southerner signed a one-year deal with Barnsley last summer after impressing on trial.
He had a brief spell on loan at Guiseley earlier this season, but won’t be staying at Oakwell it seems.
Would Walsh be a good addition for Nottingham Forest?
