Nottingham Forest midfielder Ryan Yates is hoping to prove his fitness for the visit of Luton in the Sky Bet Championship.

The 23-year-old missed Friday’s draw at Derby after a recurrence of a calf injury but the problem is not thought to be serious.

Striker Lewis Grabban is again likely to miss out with a hamstring injury.

Glenn Murray could continue up front but Lyle Taylor is an option after managing another 20 minutes on Friday on his return following a back injury.

The Hatters will check on captain Sonny Bradley ahead of the trip to the City Ground.

The defender missed Saturday’s victory over Sheffield Wednesday with a tight thigh and was replaced by Matty Pearson, who was fit again after a hamstring problem.

Tom Lockyer is nearing a return for Luton after an ankle injury.

The Welshman has been out for the last three games.
