Midfield pair Kris Commons and Ross Gardner have been given the green light to resume training this week, once they regain fitness from their respective ankle and thigh injuries then they’ll provide yet more depth to a squad that is already performing solidly.
Colin Calderwood’s gone on record as suggesting that he is keeping Commons in mind for saturday’s clash with Yeovil, but it’s unlikely he will have regained sufficient fitness for this game. There’s a possibility we might see him on the bench, however.
The return of Commons is widely rumoured (although this rumour has never been substantiated to my knowledge) to see Forest return to a more conventional 442 formation, I’m not sure of the validity of this, but certainly I couldn’t imagine seeing Kris do the left wingback role, although he could sit behind the strikers in an attacking midfield role quite effectively.
His and Gardner’s availability for selection can only be a good thing, anyway!
