Orel Mangala
Orel Mangala is suspended for the clash after seeing red on Wednesday evening.
The midfielder was shown two yellow cards against Tottenham in the Carabao Cup.
Having already been struggling for minutes, he did himself no favours with the red card.
Omar Richards
Omar Richards is back in training with Forest, however, the weekend will come too soon for him.
It has been a tough start to life back in England for Richards as he is yet to make an appearance.
This season he has been struggling with a calf injury.
Harry Toffolo
Harry Toffolo also remains out for the weekend’s match.
He picked up a thigh injury and has been missing for the last few games.
Giulian Biancone
Giulian Biancone is a player who is set for an extended spell on the sidelines.
The Frenchman has suffered a bad knee injury.
Forest do have plenty of cover at right-back though.
Moussa Niakhate
Moussa Niakhate is set to join his fellow countryman on the sidelines for some time too.
A thigh injury means that he is set to miss the next couple of months.
Scott McKenna and Cheikhou Kouyate
Scott McKenna and Cheikhou Kouyate are both due to be assessed ahead of the weekend.
Forest will be keen for McKenna to recover as they are now light at center-half.
Meanwhile, Kouyate has been key for them this season and they will also be hopeful he is fit to play.
