Billy Sharp has been made to wait for his Nottingham Forest debut after being named on the bench for the visit of Charlton Athletic on Saturday afternoon.

The striker, signed on-loan from Southampton, is joined among the substitutes by fellow new boy James Coppinger.

Charlton will be looking to build on last week's goalless draw with Hull City at The Valley, with Bradley Wright-Phillips leading the line for the Addicks.

New signing David Button is on the bench as Ben Hamer keeps his place in goal for the visitors.

Nottingham Forest: Camp, Hutchinson, Ayala, Collins, Halford; Guedioura, Gillett, McGugan, Reid; Cox, Blackstock

Charlton Athletic: Hamer, Solly, Cort, Morrison, Wiggins, Pritchard, Hollands, Jackson, Cook, Wright-Phillips, Kermorgant
