Eric Lichaj returns for Forest against Burnley
Nottingham Forest have Eric Lichaj back for the visit of Burnley.
Lichaj missed the defeat at Bristol City on Friday night through suspension but will resume at right-back. However, fellow defender Matt Mills remains unavailable as he completes his three-match ban.
Jonny Williams could be pushing for a starting place as the midfielder continues to build his match fitness following a couple of substitute appearances since joining last month from Crystal Palace.
Michael Mancienne, (hamstring), Kyle Ebecilio (hamstring), Andy Reid (groin), Chris Cohen (knee), Ben Osborn (groin), Robert Tesche (foot), Matty Fryatt (pelvis) and Britt Assombalonga (knee) remain out injured.
Burnley on sweating on the availability of winger George Boyd.
Boyd, who saw a move to Forest fall through when he was at Peterborough in 2013 over an apparent eye test failure, came off against Bolton on Saturday having rolled his ankle.
Clarets boss Sean Dyche is hopeful the problem is not serious but it has cast his availability at the City Ground into doubt, meaning Michael Kightly could get another chance to impress having been dropped to accommodate Joey Barton.
Dean Marney and Kevin Long (both knee) are close to first-team comebacks but Lukas Jutkiewicz and Ashley Barnes are further away in their own cruciate ligament recoveries.
