Nottingham Forest defender James Perch will have to wait to make a return to action after enduring an injury setback.

The 24-year old was expected to return for a friendly against Coventry City on Tuesday but was forced to pull out of the match after hurting himself during a training session.

Perch, who is a product of Nottingham and has made almost 200 appearances since 2003, suffered a stress fracture in his shin at the end of last season and has been unable to play a single game since.
