Nottingham Forest hope to have midfielder Ryan Yates available again in a couple of weeks’ time, but the situation around Jesse Lingard is less clear.
Yates missed both legs of the Carabao Cup semi-final against Manchester United, having been forced off midway in the 1-1 draw at Bournemouth. He had also been substituted the week before that clash with the Cherries, having taken a whack to the face against Leicester City.
Lingard, meanwhile, was due to make his first start since recovering from a hamstring problem at Old Trafford on Wednesday night. But he injured his Achille during the warm-up and was replaced by Emmanuel Dennis in the XI.
