Lansbury back for Forest

Henri Lansbury will return to the reckoning for Nottingham Forest when Yeovil visit the City Ground.


Lansbury has completed a two-match suspension and is likely to go straight back into the Reds' starting line-up. The midfielder may not be the only addition to the squad on Sunday with new signings Dan Fox, Kevin Gomis and Rafik Djebbour also possibly in contention, depending on their levels of fitness.


Simon Cox, Darius Henderson and Jamie Mackie will be pushing for inclusion after the trio climbed off the bench and all got themselves on the scoresheet as Forest fought back from a two-goal deficit to beat Watford 4-2 on Thursday night.


Boss Billy Davies has also brought centre-half Jack Hobbs and midfielder David Vaughan back to the club in time for the Glovers game.


Yeovil boss Gary Johnson will be without Ishmael Miller for the clash.


The 26-year-old forward, who is on loan from Forest, is not eligible to face his parent club. Strikers Adam Morgan and James Hayter are vying to take his place in the starting XI.


Yeovil also bolstered their attacking options on deadline day by signing Manchester United striker Tom Lawrence on a three-month youth loan.


Sam Hoskins remains sidelined as he recovers from a groin operation, while Liam Davis (toe) looks set to miss out once more. Midfielders Ed Upson and Kevin Dawson are pushing for recalls after coming off the bench last time out.
