Nottingham Forest are due to take on Queens Park Rangers at Loftus Road on Saturday.

Nottingham Forest manager Mark Warburton

Mark Warburton has confirmed that Zach Clough has picked up a knock in Nottingham Forest training this week, although he came through today’s session unscathed.

Clough’s availability for Forest’s match against Queens Park Rangers this weekend was in doubt.

But the young forward appears to have shaken off a knock, although he is still being closely watched in training.

Warburton also confirmed that Matt Mills and Armand Traore should feature at Loftus Road, but Jack Hobbs could miss out again.

Forest have reached a stage of the season, where they need all their key players available.

The Reds’ win over Reading in their last outing was a huge boost to their survival chances, but they are not safe yet.

As things stand, Warburton’s side are just three points clear of the drop zone with just two matches to play.

If Forest are able to pick up a victory against QPR, they could confirm their safety, and plunge Ian Holloway’s side into further relegation trouble.
