“Our thoughts are with the victim’s family and all those affected.”
The game is the final top-flight fixture of the weekend as one of three matches taking place on Sunday.
Forest’s visit kicks off at the unusual time of 6pm GMT as an unrelated safety measure because of transport issues.
The hosts will begin the game fourth in the table, while Forest are 17th.
