Danny Fox rated doubtful for Nottingham Forest's match with Ipswich

Nottingham Forest left-back Danny Fox is doubtful for the Sky Bet Championship home clash with Ipswich.

The defender missed the 2-0 loss at QPR last weekend, having sustained an ankle injury in the pre-match warm-up, and is seeing a specialist in London.

Along with Fox, it also remains to be seen whether Zach Clough and Jack Hobbs are fit enough to be involved.

Forest will be battling to retain their Championship status as they sit just a place above the drop zone, level on points with Blackburn.

On-loan Leicester forward Tom Lawrence will not be available for Ipswich because of an ankle problem.

Striker David McGoldrick is carrying a neck injury, so will be assessed along with midfielder Kevin Bru, defender Tommy Smith (calf) and Teddy Bishop (hamstring).

Midfielder Toumani Diagouraga has returned to parent club Leeds after his season was ended early by a groin problem.

Jonny Williams, on loan from Crystal Palace, is out with a hamstring injury. Danish defender Jonas Knudsen (shoulder) and centre-half Steven Taylor (hamstring) also continue their recovery, along with Adam Webster and midfielder Luke Hyam (both ankle).
