Defender Armand Traore set to miss Burton showdown
Nottingham Forest defender Armand Traore is likely to miss the Sky Bet Championship clash with Burton.
Traore sat out the whole of last season with a knee injury and still lacks match fitness, but could be ready to face Doncaster in the EFL Cup a week later.
Former Fulham midfielder Pajtim Kasami comes into contention after signing a season-long loan deal from Olympiacos and is likely to make his debut.
Chris Cohen has been troubled by niggles during pre-season and a late decision will be made on his selection.
Burton defender Tom Flanagan is going through the Football Association's return-to-play protocols after suffering a head injury in pre-season.
Flanagan sustained the injury during last week's friendly with Chester.
Other injury concerns are Lee Williamson (ankle) and Calum Butcher (calf), who are both rated 50-50 by boss Nigel Clough, while Callum Reilly is doubtful with a dead leg, but Tom Naylor trained this week following a hamstring problem and is likely to be available.
Teenage midfielder Hanza Choudhury, who helped Albion win promotion last season, could feature if re-signed on loan from Leicester in time.
