The former Greece Under-21 international has found himself out of favour since Chris Coleman's arrival as manager at the Ricoh Arena.

He has made 23 appearances for the Sky Blues this season but has fallen behind Andy Marshall and new signing Kasper Schmeichel in the pecking order.

Konstantopolous, 29, should have no problems settling into life in League One as he began his career in England with Hartlepool and spent four years at Victoria Park before his move to the Midlands last summer.

Forest were forced to enter the emergency loan market as Paul Smith is currently the only experienced keeper on their books and Colin Calderwood is reluctant to use his youngsters with the club still firmly involved in a promotion battle.
