New face for Nottingham trip?

Athletic boss Ronnie Moore is hoping to bring in a new face to give his squad "a little boost” before the trip to Nottingham Forest on Saturday. He is aiming to take a "promising youngster with Premiership experience" on loan to give him some cover in midfield. Moore said that the mystery player would add pace and physical presence.

Paul Edwards will be missing the game due to a hip problem but Will Haining could make a surprise return following his recovery from a hamstring injury.
