Colin Calderwood is sweating on the fitness of Robert Earnshaw who has gone on international duty with doubts over his hamstring.
The Wales international has been given the all clear to join up with the rest of the squad following a scan on the problem but Calderwood is still concerned about the problem and would rather him not play.
Calderwood told the Nottingham Evening Post: "It works in our favour if he doesn't play. If he is not involved in those games, it's less likely he will pick up an injury.
"We will get the best out of him. He has played every game so far for us - so it didn't disappoint me when he didn't start for Wales a few weeks ago."
