The Wales international came off the bench to score the only goal of the game against his former club Derby on Saturday to give Forest a first-ever victory at Pride Park and lift Billy Davies` side into the Championship play-off places.
Fellow forwards Dele Adebola and David McGoldrick and midfielders Radoslaw Majewski and Paul McKenna will also be hoping for recalls.
The game was originally scheduled for the start of December but was postponed due to the snow and freezing conditions.
Victory for Forest would see them climb a place to fifth and to within one point of second-placed Cardiff, with a game in hand.
