Andy Cole could be denied a Nottingham Forest debut against Reading on Monday because the former Manchester United striker has a calf injury.Cole could be forced - along with fellow new-boys Paul Anderson and Joe Garner - to wait to make his competitive debut. Anderson, the on-loan Liverpool youngster, is also sidelined with a calf problem while striker Garner is likely to be out until the end of the year as he recovers from knee trouble.

Former Royals striker Nathan Tyson (hamstring) is also ruled out.
