Nottingham Forest defender Greg Halford will miss his side’s last-day tussle with Albion.

Halford has been banned for three games after accepting an FA charge of violent conduct.

His place at right-back is likely to be taken by former Seagulls loanee Gonzalo Jara Reyes.

Halford can play on the right or in central defence and his absence is another blow to a Forest side struggling with a lengthy injury list.

His FA charge arose from an incident in the 4-1 defeat at Bournemouth last Saturday which ended Forest’s play-off hopes.

Jara Reyes came on as a sub against the Cherries and conceded a penalty.
