Luke Garbutt made his Wigan Athletic debut on Saturday but his loan club were edged out in an action-packed seven-goal contest away at Nottingham Forest.
The left-back was installed straight into the starting line-up by Latics boss Gary Caldwell for the trip to the City Ground after joining on a four-month deal earlier this week.
However, it was to prove a frustrating afternoon for Garbutt and his Wigan teammates who lost 4-3 after conceding a 93rd-minute goal.
Also in the Championship, Conor Grant missed Ipswich Town’s derby with Norwich City on Sunday after suffering a groin injury.
