Ryan Yates has suffered an injury during Nottingham Forest's Europa League clash against Fenerbahce that TNT Sports deemed too graphic to show for a second time.

Forest have taken a 3-0 aggregate lead into the second leg of their Europa League play-off tie, which is taking place at the City Ground.

Just minutes into the match, home captain Yates went to ground with a dislocated finger that required immediate medical treatment.

The extremely graphic nature of the injury meant that no action replays were available.

However, Yates was able to carry on playing, as his finger was put back in place after assistance from the Forest medical team.

Commentating over the incident, lead TNT Sports co-commentator Darren Fletcher explained: "The fact he's just gestured to the physio and said, 'Can you come and just sort this out', is remarkable.

"They'll just stick it back in. He's actually smiling about it. We're not going to show you it because it can put you off your tea."

Co-commentator Karen Carney said: "I'm not even watching!"

"He's actually fine, he's chatting to Elliot Anderson now while the repairs are being done," Fletcher, who is a Nottingham Forest supporter, added.

Forest went on to concede the opening goal of the match on 22 minutes, with Turkey international Kerem Akturkoglu reducing the aggregate deficit to 3-1.

Vitor Pereira is the third manager to take charge of a Europa League game for Forest this season, with Ange Postecoglou and Sean Dyche previously managing the club during the group stages.

The Europa League last 16 draw takes place on Friday at UEFA's headquarters, with Forest knowing they will face one of two teams - should they progress - due to the seeding system.

They will take on either Real Betis or FC Midtjylland, who finished in third and fourth places respectively in the group phase.
