Brazilian defender Murillo and winger Hudson-Odoi missed Sunday’s 2-0 win at Everton due to respective thigh and dead-leg injuries.

When asked about the pair before Forest’s trip to his former club, Nuno said: “Much better. I think so. I think tomorrow we will decide, but I think they’re going to be OK.”

Murillo was withdrawn from the squad at Goodison Park last week after feeling his strain during the warm-up, while Hudson-Odoi failed a fitness test after he had sustained a knock in the Boxing Day win against Tottenham.

Skipper Ryan Yates is also available again after five yellow cards saw him miss out at Everton due to a one-game ban.
