Nottingham Forest expect Eric Lichaj return before end of season

Nottingham Forest have said that they expect Eric Lichaj to recover from a hernia and appear again this season.

The 25-year-old underwent double hernia surgery earlier this week after suffering the problem earlier this month.

"We are hoping that Eric will feature before the end of season," MLSsoccer.com quotes Forest as saying.

The United States international has made 26 appearances in all competitions for Forest this season.
