Nottingham Forest vs Huddersfield Town preview - Reds to check on Chuba

Nottingham Forest manager Dougie Freedman will check on Chuba Akpom before finalising his plans for the visit of Huddersfield.

Akpom, on loan from Arsenal, has yet to train this week after coming off injured shortly before half-time during the 2-2 draw at Brentford on Monday.

Fellow striker Matty Fryatt will probably remain out with the Achilles problem that has been troubling him in recent weeks while midfielder Gary Gardner will complete a two-match suspension.

Mo Barrow was absent against the Bees through injury and the on-loan Swansea forward will also be assessed.

Huddersfield pair Ishmael Miller and Jonathan Hogg are both hoping to return to action.

Miller missed Monday's home win against Ipswich after sustaining a back injury in Saturday's draw at Sheffield Wednesday, while midfielder Hogg has missed the last two games due to a hamstring problem.

If Miller is fit, boss Chris Powell must decide whether to recall him to the starting line-up or retain James Vaughan and Nahki Wells.

Winger Harry Bunn (hamstring) has been sidelined since the middle of last month and has targeted next weekend's home game against Derby for his return.
