Garner back in action for Forest

Nottingham Forest striker Joe Garner is hoping for a place in the Reds' next league game after getting match action in a friendly against Ireland.

Garner played the second half in Forest's 2-0 defeat against a Republic of Ireland XI on Thursday.

He told BBC Radio Nottingham: "I'm very happy to be back out on the pitch. It's a bit of a shock but I'll be all right when I get going.

"Hopefully, I'm back fit now and there'll be no more injuries for me."

Garner will get match time in a reserve game next week ahead of Forest's trip to Queens Park Rangers next Saturday (18 October, 1500 BST).

The 20-year-old signed a four-year contract at the City Ground in July but has been sidelined by a knee ligament injury.
