Lansbury set for Forest outing

Henri Lansbury could make his first appearance for Nottingham Forest next week following an injury-plagued start to his City Ground career.

Lansbury has yet to feature for the Reds following his million-pound switch from Arsenal at the end of last month due to an ankle injury.

The 21-year-old suffered the injury during pre-season and Forest boss Sean O'Driscoll has admitted he was aware of the problem when he signed the player.

Forest face Derby in a Under-21 fixture at the City Ground on Monday and O'Driscoll is hopeful of Lansbury featuring in the game.
