Kelvin Wilson wants Nuno Espirito Santo to reinstate one player to his Nottingham Forest line-up this weekend.
The Reds will face Sheffield United seeking for a crucial three points to get their survival bid back on track.
Forest were trounced 2-0 by Manchester City at the City Ground last time out. Perhaps more troubling was a number of injured that Forest gather.
Murillo and Willy Boly have been spotted back in training for Forest – but there are still worries regarding Neco Williams.
Now, Wilson has stated who he would like to come into the fold should Williams fail in his fitness quest this weekend.

If Williams doesn’t make it, significant changes will be required in the Forest starting eleven.
Wilson is under no illusions who should start at Sheffield United if it comes to shuffling the full-backs around.

Harry Toffolo hasn’t played much football of late but Wilson would have no hesitations about recalling him.
He told the Forest Focus podcast: “If Neco Williams isn’t fit, I’d switch Ola Aina to right-back. I’d then bring Toff (Harry Toffolo) in as left-back. It’s a simple option.
“You know what you’re going to get with Toffolo. He knows how to defend, he’s wholehearted and you simply know he will do a job.”
Toffolo can play a part for Forest this season
As the season draws to a close, Toffolo must be hopeful he can get back on the pitch.
It’s been a few weeks since he was trusted with a starting position, with Toffolo not making the eleven since the 1-1 draw with Luton in March.
Wilson is right though. Toffolo, signed for £2.5 million, always gives his all for Forest and what he lacks in quality he makes up for with sheer hard work.
At this time of the season with plenty yet to play for, it might be ideal for Forest to get Toffolo back engaged if Williams is sidelined.
With relegation hanging over the club, Forest need players who will give everything out on the pitch for three more games and Toffolo absolutely satisfies that qualification.
