Injured Nottingham Forest striker Nathan Tyson is closing in on a return to first-team action after featuring for the reserves in midweek.

The 24-year-old has been sidelined since damaging knee ligaments in the first game of the season, but played half an hour of the Forest second string's meeting with Northampton.

"It felt good to be back. It's just a shame I didn't get a goal for myself because I had a chance towards the end but slipped over," he told the club's official website.

"I was nervous beforehand in case I found myself on the receiving end of a bad challenge.

"I took a couple of tackles, but the knee seemed to hold up just fine.

"Hopefully everything will be fine and I'll get another game in the reserves next week."
