Hennessey hasn’t played for Forest since playing on the final day of the 2022/23 season against Crystal Palace. He didn’t participate in pre-season due to an injury and is now considered the third choice at the City Ground.
Hennessey would have appreciated getting some minutes in front of a Welsh crowd last night. He competes with Danny Ward for the gloves right now and hopes to get the nod when Wales faces Croatia at the weekend.
This was a comfortable performance for the Forest goalkeeper. Hennessey touched the ball just seven times, according to Sofa Score and maintained a 6/10 rating from Wales Online.
They wrote about the Forest man: “Can’t actually remember him touching the ball after coming on at half-time.
Hennessey didn’t have to make a save. Wales ran out convincing winners last night, but it will be a different story when they face Croatia in the next key qualifier.
Forest have kept Hennessey, 36, around the club for the season and he will play a part in the City Ground dressing room. He’s a positive influence in the locker room, and with so many young players on Steve Cooper’s squad, he’s a terrific character to have on the team.
Hennessey is unlikely to make an appearance for Forest this season. With Matt Turner and Odysseas Vlachodimos currently with the club, those two will most likely be the goalkeepers for the rest of the season.
Hennessey will be relieved that he is unlikely to play for Forest this season. His work will be highlighted on the training ground, and he will be close behind the two first-choice goalkeepers at the City Ground.
