Nottingham Forest boss Paul Hart has no new injuries ahead of Town's visit to the City Ground on Wednesday night. However, the Tricky Trees will still be without several of their top names due to long-term injuries.
Former Blue David Johnson has returned to training after his broken leg but is still some way from a first team return.
Hotly-tipped young defender Michael Dawson remains out of action with a hamstring problem while Belgian international Davy Oyen misses out with a knee problem.
Key striker Marlon Harewood was sold to West Ham last week after failing to agree an extension to his contract, but Marlon King was signed as his replacement and is likely to start against Town.
Forest are without a win since October and Hart is looking to stop his side's slide: "It's always easier for confidence to grow in a winning environment but, at the moment, we seem to be taking one step forward and two steps back.
"That is probably endemic of a young side who are working very hard and seemingly making very little progress at the moment.
"The players are giving everything and we're probably not far away from turning the corner, although no matter how well you play you run the risk of confidence dipping in a run of defeats."
Last season Forest beat Town at both Portman Road and the City Ground.
