Brennan Johnson: Forward gives Wales injury worry as Euro 2024 qualifiers loom

Brennan Johnson made his Nottingham Forest debut in 2019

Brennan Johnson has given Wales an injury worry before Tuesday's squad announcement for Euro 2024 qualifiers against Croatia and Latvia.

The forward, 21, suffered a groin problem in Nottingham Forest's Premier League loss to Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday.

Forest boss Steve Cooper says they "don't know how bad" Johnson's injury is.

Wales go to Croatia on Saturday, 25 March and host Latvia three days later.

Forest's Wales goalkeeper Wayne Hennessey withdrew from the bench before kick-off in the 3-1 defeat by Spurs because of a knee problem.

"Wayne felt his knee [was injured] so was unable to go on the bench," said Cooper.

Swansea City's Ollie Cooper was also withdrawn at half-time of the 3-1 defeat to Middlesbrough.

Manager Russell Martin said: "He wasn't able to produce his best after he took a big whack.

"He felt he could go on but it just wasn't worth risking.

"We've two really important games coming up and there's the Wales squad announcement as well which we hope he'll be in."

Wales will go into their qualifiers without recent international retirees Joe Allen, Chris Gunter and Jonny Williams as well as the iconic Gareth Bale, who has ended his playing days altogether.

However there was good news for Robert Page from France after Aaron Ramsey played his first game in three weeks following a hamstring injury.

Ramsey came off the bench to play the final 26 minutes of Nice's 2-2 draw with Nantes.
