Tobias Figueiredo back from ban for Nottingham Forest

Nottingham Forest boss Aitor Karanka has decisions to make in defence when picking his team to face QPR.

The Reds kept a clean sheet against rivals Derby as Monday’s clash at Pride Park finished goalless, but Karanka has at least one, and possibly two, players returning to contention for the weekend.

Tobias Figueiredo is available after serving a three-match suspension while Danny Fox could be back following a foot injury.

Michael Dawson (hamstring) is not ready yet and Hilal Soudani and Sam Byram are both unlikely to make their comeback from knee problems until 2019.

QPR defender Joel Lynch is expected to be fit to line up against his former club at the City Ground.

Lynch, at Forest between 2008 and 2012, limped off during the home win against Middlesbrough but it transpires the injury was merely a dead leg.

Centre-backs Alex Baptiste and Grant Hall are unlikely to be fit enough for this weekend but it is hoped they will play some part over the festive period.

Former Forest boss Steve McClaren will also return to his old club without Angel Rangel, who has a muscle injury, and Geoff Cameron (ankle).
