Nottingham Forest legend Garry Birtles has called for Gustavo Scarpa to be brought back into the squad.
Forest are in an intense relegation battle after going five games without a win, leaving them two points above bottom three with five points separating 12th and 20th place in the Premier League.
Scarpa has not started since the defeat to Fulham last month and has missed out on the last two match day squads after an initial bright start at the club following his winter move from Palmeiras. Manager Steve Cooper has not confirmed the reason for his absence.
