Nottingham Forest will be looking to build on their win over Brentford at the weekend with another good performance and result against West Brom this evening.

Indeed, it's a big game for the Reds to show their play-off credentials once more and Martin O'Neill will be hoping that his side is up for the battle with the Baggies.

One man that won't feature, though, is Tobias Figueiredo who has struggled with injury this season - along with a number of other Forest defenders.

And, with that in mind, the centre-half posted this on Instagram last night to underline that he is still battling with his recovery:

The defender has been in and out of the team for much of this season, but it is clear that he is determined to get back on the pitch before too long.

Indeed, the Reds would surely like him back as soon as, but he cannot be rushed.

The Verdict

Figueiredo is a fine player on his day and would be missed by many sides - not just Forest.

He's still fighting to get fit, though, and so in the meantime the Reds are going to have to try and get results without him - as they did at the weekend.
