Team news for the weekends fixture between Forest and Stoke at The City Ground.
Nottm Forest v Stoke at The City Ground ko - 15-00 Forest News Winger Andy Reid has been given the
all-clear to extend his run in promotion-chasing Nottingham Forest's team
against Stoke. The Republic of Ireland international has
started Forest's last six games but his hopes of extending that sequence were
thrown into doubt earlier in the week when he twisted his ankle in training, but
the injury has responded well to treatment and Reid will take his place in Paul
Hart's starting line-up. Striker Darren Huckerby is unavailable as
his loan from Manchester City does not start until Monday. Potters News Stoke go into the game without key players
Chris Iwelumo, Brynjar Gunnarsson and Sergei Shtaniuk. They are serving one-match suspensions,
Shtaniuk for a sending-off at Grimsby and the other two for accumulating five
yellow cards. Lee Mills, who has signed a deal keeping
him at the Britannia Stadium until the end of the season, is likely to replace
Iwelumo and join Chris Greenacre up front. Midfielder Peter Hoekstra will be
available again after completing a suspension. One To Watch David
