Garry Birtles has called on Nottingham Forest to bring Ryan Yates back to the squad this weekend.
The midfielder has not started a match since the Red Devils’ last win against Chelsea in September.
Jungle star Yates was forced to wait patiently before returning home.
Steve Cooper left with the trio of Ibrahim Sangaré, Orel Mangala and Nicolas Dominguez since the transfer window ended with some success.
Yates had an impressive performance for Forest against Liverpool this weekend.
He created his best chance after coming on, when Anthony Elanga blasted his shot over the crossbar.
Birtles wants Yates back at Forest The 25-year-old is considered one of our own to have attended the academy.
This season, however, Forest head coach Cooper does not consider Yates a regular, but Birtles believes he should be recalled to the squad.
He told Garibaldi Red Podcast: “The number of times he made the difference when he came on or when he started.
We must consider what others are doing; Do they create chances, score goals, can they do what he can do?
Do they know the Premier League, no, no, do they know the Premier League, yes.
These factors must be considered.
“It’s good to say you have to give them time, but you can lose game after game if you do that and I think sometimes you have to rely on people who have proven themselves and that That doesn’t stop us from ever giving up.
A lot of people have criticized him, but last season I think if it wasn’t for him and Joe Worrall, I still think we would have gone down.
To be honest, the performance their performance is very good, they know what they have to do Yates will have a role this season Yates at Forest will definitely have a role this season.
However, it remains to be seen when he will return to the starting lineup with a spot in the starting lineup.
Mangala, Sangaré and Dominguez all have certain qualities.
Forest have spent a lot of money on Sangaré and perhaps he will have time to settle down; while the remaining 2 midfielders are all of quality this season.
However, Yates is a favorite with Forest head coach Cooper.
Given that the Red Devils are currently stuck in a rut, perhaps Birtles will get his wish this weekend and the academy graduate will return to the team.
