Forest could have three back to face Brum

NOTTINGHAM Forest could have three injured players back available in time for the trip to high-flying Birmingham on Saturday.

Striker Nathan Tyson is almost certain to return, with the cut he sustained above his eye against QPR healing well.

While Robert Earnshaw (hamstring) and James Perch (concussion) also have a chance of being fit for the game at St Andrews.

"We will have a look at Robert Earnshaw over the next few days, but he has a chance of being involved if he comes through training okay," said manager Billy Davies.

"James Perch could be able to train again in a day or two, so he might also have a chance."
