Andy Reid: Nottingham Forest midfielder out until 2015

Reid played all six Championship games for Forest before being injured against Derby in September

Nottingham Forest midfielder Andy Reid could be out of action until January.

The 32-year-old hurt his groin in the derby against Derby County in September and a scan has revealed the damage is more serious than first feared.

Reid has said the best-case scenario could see him return in eight weeks, but it could be as long as 12 weeks.

"I'm gutted but all I can do now is be as positive as I can and work as hard as I can to come back stronger," he told the Nottingham Evening Post.

Earlier this week Reds defender Jack Hobbs was ruled out until Christmas because of an ankle injury.
