Nottingham Forest manager Billy Davies has had his appeal against a five-match touchline ban delayed until next week.

Personal reasons have been cited as the reason for the delay to Wednesday's scheduled hearing.

He will now be on the touchline when Forest travel to arch rivals Derby County for a crucial playoff clash this weekend.

Davies was initially banned for a confrontation with referee Anthony Taylor during half time of a game against Leicester City a month ago.
