Oleksandr Zinchenko and Douglas Luiz face an uncertain January at Nottingham Forest despite both agreeing season-long loan deals last summer.
The high-profile duo were among 12 signings as Forest embarked on an ambitious campaign before the start of the season. Yet with Forest having sacked two managers before the end of October, both have seen their playing time limited.
Zinchenko joined from Arsenal at the end of August but Daily Mail Sport can reveal there have been conversations about whether he will continue at Forest or complete the season elsewhere. Though it is unclear whether there is a specific recall clause in this deal, it is common practice for the parent club to include them in loan arrangements.
