Scott Parker is the most high-profile absentee from the West Ham United squad that travelled to Nottingham for tomorrow lunchtime's Championship clash.
Parker, whose future has been the subject of much discussion in recent days has remained at home and is unlikely to play for the Hammers again until the situation is resolved.Despite his omission from Sam Allardyce's 16-man squad, it is still far from certain that the 30-year-old midfielder will make the move from east to north London with a deal still not sealed, despite a series of talks between the two clubs having taken place.
Also likely to miss from a game in which United are hoping to record their third successive away win - a much needed win given the embarrassing reversal against League two Aldershot last Wednesday - is new signing Abdoulaye Faye.
The 33-year-old central defender is still recovering from a groin injury that could continue to prevent him from adding to his 23 minutes of game time this season.
Bar long terms casualties Peter Kurucz and Gary O'Neil, Sam Allardyce otherwise has a fully fit squad to choose from.
However new signing Sam Baldock, who completed a £2million move from MK Dons on Friday will not feature as he failed to complete his registration in time for tomorrow's game.
