Meanwhile, Forest boss Dougie Freedman has included midfielder Gary Gardner is what will be his last game for the club before returning to parent club Aston Villa.

Andy Reid, Matty Fryatt, Britt Assombalonga and Chris Cohen are all out injured for the Reds, but Freedman continues with Dexter Blackstock in attack against Cardiff while Chuba Akpom drops to the bench.
