Working on grass
Yates (hamstring) is making good progress and working on grass with the sports science team, coach Sean Dyche said in a press conference, according to Jak Netting from Vavel. "Ryan is looking stronger. He's not quite with us yet, but he's on the grass working very actively with the sports science team, which is a good sign."
ANALYSIS
Yates is making good progress in the rehabilitation of a hamstring injury since he is currently working on grass with the sports science team. The midfielder is likely still several weeks away from making his return to the match squad, but his progression is a good sign according to coach Sean Dyche. Yates is expected to hold a rotational role for Forest once fully back fit, therefore his absence has a minor impact on the starting XI.

Makes progress in recovery
Yates (hamstring) is making progress as he continues to work towards his return from injury, with manager Sean Dyche saying "I said it would be weeks rather than days but he is making really, really good progress, He is back on the grass, although not with us, but he is back on the grass running and stuff like that. We are hoping it will be sooner rather than later. At first, we were worried about how long it would be but it is looking more positive now.", Sarah Clapson of the Nottingham Post reports.
