Aina and Awoniyi have missed Forest's last two league games due to calf and hamstring injuries. The team lost both matches against Aston Villa and Everton.

"We need all the players," Nuno said. "It is going to be hard work to the end, so having all the players available would be helpful."

Forest currently sit third in the table, three points ahead of Newcastle United in fourth, and another defeat could jeopardize their chances of securing a Champions League spot.
