Forest short in defence for cup tie

11 August 2009 13:05
Luke Chambers begins a three-match ban following his red card against Reading on Saturday, and Chris Gunter is on international duty with Wales. Boss Billy Davies was already without injured trio Julian Bennett (knee), Kelvin Wilson (ankle) and James Perch (shin) so Joel Lynch could deputise at centre-half with midfielder Chris Cohen moving to left-back and winger Gareth McLeary dropping to right-back. Davies is also missing striker Rob Earnshaw, who has joined Gunter in Montenegro with the Welsh squad, so Dexter Blackstock could start for the first time since rejoining the club. Midfielder Guy Moussi is sidelined with a thigh injury.
