World News – GB – Live Matchday Between Barnsley and Forest – The Reds aim for a third spin win

It’s game day! Nottingham Forest meets Barnsley this afternoon – and you can catch the action here.

The Reds are back after the international break and want to score three wins.

They have taken the two week hiatus after overthrowing Coventry City and Wycombe Wanderers and will try to pick up where they left off.

Boss Chris Hughton has a number of players out of play but midfielder Harry Arter is available after returning from service with the Republic of Ireland due to a minor injury.

We’ll have all the big game setup here, followed by team news and live updates from Oakwell, then all the reaction.

Nice move from Forest as they hold the ball well. Lolley works hard on the left.

It will be interesting to see how Chris Hughton uses his subs today, now that five can be used.

No Mighten under the nine-man bench. Was not included on the injured player list before the game but will check with Hughton afterwards.

If Nottingham Forest need to upgrade their attacking options in January, look no further than their own expanded squad.

That’s the fear of Lincoln City boss Michael Appleton, who desperately hopes not to suffer another setback in the medium term if the Reds remember Brennan Johnson.

The 19-year-old academy graduate was on loan with the Imps in good shape, scoring two goals and providing four assists to attract the attention of his Wales national team, which recently rewarded him with his first international match against the United States.

And Appleton understands that if Forest decides to shorten his stint at Sincil Bank in the same way they did last year when they replaced former striker Tyler, he must have a pre-made replacement in mind Walker called back.

Looks like Gaetan Bong traveled – pretty sure I can see him out there on the field.

Boss Chris Hughton hopes to be strengthened with the return of some of his injured players in the coming weeks as Nottingham Forest get into a hectic series of games.

Harry Arter can play Barnsley this week after early return from international service with the Republic of Ireland due to a minor injury.

Midfielder Samba Sow will be absent from the Oakwell trip with a thigh problem after being substituted off in a 2-0 win over Wycombe Wanderers before the break.

And while Hughton will be without defenders Joe Worrall (foot), Tyler Blackett (unspecified injury) and Michael Dawson (calf), and midfielder Fouad Bachirou (thigh) and forward Lewis Grabban (hip), he says You’re nearing a comeback.

Nottingham Forest boss Chris Hughton says he sees Saturday’s clash with Barnsley as as tough as he saw the recently relegated Bournemouth next week.

And he talked about the importance of using sports scientists to lead a hectic series of games.

After the international break, the Reds will play nine games over the next 29 days, starting with the weekend trip to Oakwell.

During this period, they’ll be competing against five of the current top 6, including the cherries, to climb the championship table.
