Nottingham Forest v Fulham - full team news ahead of crunch clash

Nottingham Forest look set to have a full squad to choose from once again when they take on Sky Bet Championship promotion rivals Fulham today.

The Reds went into Saturday’s 1-1 draw at Derby County injury-free and appear to have emerged from the contest with that still the case.

Matty Cash and Ryan Yates, having each taken knocks to the head in the win over Bristol City three days earlier, both completed the 90 minutes against the Rams.

Meanwhile, Samba Sow made his first start since February and Nuno Da Costa was handed his full debut at Pride Park.

They replaced regulars Tiago Silva and Sammy Ameobi, who will both be pushing for a recall.

Forest play host to Fulham later (5pm) at the City Ground.

Fulham will be without top scorer Aleksandar Mitrovic as he completes his suspension.

The Serbia striker is serving a three-game ban handed to him for an elbow on Ben White in the 3-0 loss to Leeds United on June 27.

That was a second successive defeat for Scott Parker’s side, but they have recorded back-to-back wins since then.

Defender Alfie Mawson, who has been out since January, did not make a return to the matchday squad on Saturday as the Cottagers beat Birmingham City 1-0.

Terence Kongolo (foot) remains sidelined, while Aboubakar Kamara is an injury doubt.

Josh Onomah will be pushing for a start following his stoppage-time winner against Birmingham.

Forest are fifth in the Championship table, two points and one position behind Fulham.
