"Nottingham Forest goalkeeper John Victor has been ruled out for the rest of the season with a knee injury. The 29-year-old sustained the injury against Aston Villa earlier this month and sources have told BBC Sport he will not return this term. With only Angus Gunn as back-up to Matz Sels, Forest are now in talks to sign Wolves goalkeeper Jose Sa before Monday's transfer deadline."
"Victor came off in the 3-1 defeat at Aston Villa on 3 January after injuring his knee while conceding Villa's third to John McGinn. Boss Sean Dyche said earlier this month: "John Victor is injured unfortunately and has had a minor operation on his knee, so he'll be out for a little bit. We're not sure on the timescale yet." Victor joined Forest from Botafogo in the summer and has made nine appearances."
John Victor, 29, will miss the remainder of the season after suffering a knee injury during Nottingham Forest's 3-1 defeat at Aston Villa on 3 January. Victor injured his knee while conceding Villa's third goal to John McGinn and underwent a minor operation. Victor made nine appearances since joining from Botafogo, replacing Matz Sels in five Premier League games. With Angus Gunn the only other senior goalkeeper, Forest are pursuing Wolves' Jose Sa as cover, contingent on Wolves finding a replacement. Nottingham Forest have also been without striker Chris Wood since October following knee surgery in December.
