Following Nottingham Forest’s shock FA Cup exit at the hands of Wrexham on Friday night, Roy Keane has delivered a blistering assessment of Igor Jesus, demanding the club “sell him in January and forget it ever happened.”
The Premier League side crashed out 4-3 on penalties after a chaotic 3-3 draw at the Racecourse Ground. While Callum Hudson-Odoi’s late heroics rescued the game in normal time, Igor Jesus—Forest’s marquee summer signing—endured a nightmare evening. The Brazilian missed a guilt-edged chance in extra time before seeing his decisive penalty saved by Wrexham hero Arthur Okonkwo.
Keane’s Scathing Verdict
Speaking on the post-match broadcast, the former Forest man didn’t hold back:
”I’ve seen enough. You’re playing a Championship side, you’re the big-money striker, and you’re hiding. To miss that sitter and then produce a penalty like that? It’s soft. If I’m the manager, I’m getting him out of the building this month. Cut your losses, sell him, and move on.”
The defeat marks a new low in a turbulent season for Sean Dyche’s men. With the January window open, Keane’s comments have intensified the pressure on the Forest board to act before the deadline.
