Earnshaw scored 17 goals for Forest last season

Nottingham Forest could be without striker Robert Earnshaw for up to four weeks after he suffered a calf injury while on World Cup duty with Wales.

Earnshaw was hurt while training ahead of the World Cup qualifier in Finland.

Forest have six strikers competing for two spots and Earnshaw has started only two league games so far this season.

Dexter Blackstock and David McGoldrick have been the most regular starters while Nathan Tyson and Joe Garner have been deployed on the wing.

Former Birmingham and Bristol City forward Dele Adebola has been mainly used as a substitute.
