Simon Cox "out for around two months"

Nottingham Forest striker Simon Cox has revealed that he will spend the next eight weeks on the sidelines.

The 25-year-old sustained an ankle injury during his side's 2-1 win over Wolverhampton Wanderers on Saturday afternoon. A subsequent scan then showed that he had damaged his ligaments.

"I'm out for around two months but it feels better and better each day. I want to be back ASAP to help the lads achieve our goal," he wrote on Twitter.

Cox joined Forest from West Bromwich Albion during the summer.
