Nottingham Forest vs Queens Park Rangers - Thomas Lam and Hildeberto Pereira return to boost Nottingham Forest against QPR

Posted Friday, November 04, 2016 by PA

Thomas Lam and Hildeberto Pereira return from suspension for Nottingham Forest against QPR.

The defensive-minded duo completed bans as the Reds lost 2-0 at Reading last weekend - a sixth defeat in eight Championship matches.

That form is part of a run of just one win in 10 league outings which leaves head coach Philippe Montanier under pressure amid talk of prospective new owners at the City Ground and the Frenchman, only appointed in the summer, does not expect to have any of his injured players back in contention.

Therefore, Jack Hobbs, Michael Mancienne (illness), Daniel Pinillos (knee), David Vaughan (rib), Nicklas Bendtner (ankle), Mustapha Carayol and Matt Cash all remain out.

QPR boss Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink may make changes to his side as they aim to end their two-game losing run.

Defender Jack Robinson returned to the starting line-up for the first time in seven months against Brentford and is set to retain his place.

On-loan midfielder Pawel Wszolek could start while Joel Lynch is battling with a leg problem and may miss out.

Grant Hall was an unused substitute last week after recovering from a thigh injury and may feature but Jake Bidwell remains sidelined with a shoulder problem.
