Mellis Suspended For Boxing Day Bout

Reds midfielder Jacob Mellis will miss the visit of Bolton Wanderers due to suspension.

The former Chelsea man picked up his fifth booking of the campaign against Leeds United and will miss the Boxing Day clash against Bolton.

Meanwhile, on-loan Forest striker Marcus Tudgay will miss the rest of his loan spell at Oakwell as he is set to serve a three-match ban for his dismissal at Elland Road.
