Playmaker Morgan Gibbs-White missed Sunday's home defeat to Arsenal with a muscle injury suffered in the loss at Crystal Palace the week before.

However, according to the Nottingham Post, the attacking midfielder - who has a goal and two assists to his name so far this season - should be ready to return at Portman Road on Friday.

Defender Nikola Milenkovic, who missed the Palace clash with a bone bruise but was then an unused sub against the Gunners, should also be ready to go.

But Forest look set to be be missing striker Igor Jesus, who hasn't played since the international break due to a calf injury.

The 25-year-old has scored once in five games this season, two of which were starts.

Forest boss Oliver Glasner said of Jesus last week: "With Igor, we know that he will be out for a few more games.

"The situation is that everybody else can step up and show that he's ready.”

Forest head to Suffolk sitting second bottom of the Premier League, having lost three games in a row.
