On the winger: “He wasn’t fit enough in the end. The scan revealed a very slight issue with his hip and it’s a good chance for Harvey to step up.”
Forest Continue to Be Without Key Forward
Still no Chris Wood for Forest, while Matz Sels, Murillo, the midfielder plus the attacker are back.
Lukas Nmecha replaces the goal-shy Dominic Calvert-Lewin, that had difficulties against Brighton in the previous round.
