Nottingham Forest remain in contention to challenge for a long-awaited promotion back into the Premier League under the guidance of Sabri Lamouchi. 

The Reds are currently sat fifth in the Championship table, and will be hoping they can hold their nerve in the race for promotion this term.

However, due to recent off-the-field events, that promotion push has been put on hold for the time being, with no scheduled return date in place as of yet.

One player that has been key to their impressive performances this season is Sammy Ameobi, who has been a regular for the Reds.

The winger has made 38 appearances for Forest, and has chipped in with three goals and eight assists in all competitions this season.
