Forest forward Walker pushing for more minutes after goalscoring cameo

Posted Monday, February 10, 2020 by PA

Nottingham Forest striker Tyler Walker will be hoping to be involved against Charlton after making a goalscoring contribution last time out.

The 23-year-old came off the bench to score a late second in Forest’s 2-0 victory over Leeds on Saturday – his first goal since returning from a fruitful loan spell at Lincoln – and he could have earned himself more game time.

New signing Nuno Da Costa could make his Forest debut, while fellow January arrival Adama Diakhaby is pushing for his first start after making three substitute appearances.

Samba Sow returned to the starting XI against Leeds following a knee injury and he is likely to keep his place after managing the full 90 minutes.

Charlton will welcome Macauley Bonne back into their squad for the trip.

The former Leyton Orient striker has been sidelined since December with a hamstring injury but he is set to take his place on the bench on Tuesday.

Deadline day loan signing Aiden McGeady missed Saturday’s defeat at Stoke through illness but could be involved.

Erhun Oztumer and Alfie Doughty came off the bench against the Potters and are among those vying for starting spots.
