Forest boosted by Cox news

Nottingham Forest striker Simon Cox did not break a bone in his foot during Republic of Ireland's victory over Oman.

Cox was helped off in the closing stages of Ireland's 4-1 win at Craven Cottage amid fears he had fractured a metatarsal.

But a statement on the Forest website confirmed Cox had suffered only "slight ligament damage".

The 25-year-old, who has scored twice since joining in a ?2million move from West Brom last month, is likely to miss Saturday's Championship game against Birmingham.
