Konchesky out for Forest

01 April 2011 11:01
Boss Billy Davies has ruled Paul Konchesky out of his Nottingham Forest squad to face promotion rivals Leeds at Elland Road.

The on-loan Liverpool defender is still nursing a hamstring injury sustained during the defeat at Swansea prior to the international break. Davies must decide whether to pick Joel Lynch, fit again after an ankle problem, or Julian Bennett to fill in at left-back.

Marcus Tudgay has recovered from the illness that ruled him out against the Swans and he will be added to the squad. There is a chance that fellow striker Robert Earnshaw, who also missed the trip to Swansea and Wales` Euro 2012 qualifier against England in Cardiff last weekend, could return after a hamstring injury.

Midfielder Guy Moussi (thigh) is not yet ready to be considered for a recall.
