Loan star George Boyd will miss out on a head-to-head with his former Peterborough team-mates at The City Ground tomorrow (kick-off 3pm).

The Nottingham Forest winger is ineligible for the game under the terms of the loan deal that saw him leave the Championship's bottom club for Trentside earlier this month.

So Boyd will watch from the sidelines as Forest aim to record their 11th successive home league win and add to Peterborough's relegation worries.

Forest hope striker Dexter Blackstock will be fit to start the game, having been deployed as a substitute on Tuesday due to concerns about a groin strain.

Joel Lynch, Paul McKenna, Julian Bennett and Garath McCleary remain unavailable but James Perch is expected to figure, despite nursing an ankle problem.
