Nottingham Forest striker Robert Earnshaw will make his return from injury at QPR on Saturday.

The Wales striker, who had to pull out of John Toshack's international squad for the World Cup qualifiers against Liechtenstein and Germany this week, has been out of action since picking up a hamstring injury in September's goalless draw with Charlton.

However, the £2.65million summer signing will make his comeback at Loftus Road at the weekend.

Meanwhile, Joe Garner has been forced to put his own comeback from knee ligament damage on hold, after illness prevented him from playing in a reserve game at Walsall on Tuesday.

The £1million signing from Carlisle United has yet to make his debut for the Championship club.

"Joe has had a stomach bug and has not been well over the weekend, so there's no point in playing him against Walsall," manager Colin Calderwood told the club's official website.
