Forest boss also keen to keep Bertrand
Billy Davies is hoping that Nottingham Forest can agree an extension to Aaron Ramsey's loan deal.
The Arsenal midfielder joined the Reds at the end of November as he looks to step up his rehabilitation from a badly broken leg.
His efforts have been hampered by the recent cold snap, with the weather wreaking havoc on Forest's fixture list.
He has not been able to take in as many games as he would have liked as a result and is due back at Emirates Stadium on 3rd January.
Forest, though, are keen for the Wales international to remain with them for the foreseeable future and Davies hopes Arsene Wenger will allow the promising 20-year-old to stay on at the City Ground.
"It was nice to get Aaron Ramsey on the pitch. He is getting fitter and better and he had a decent performance," Davies said after handing Ramsey his first start in Wednesday's 5-2 mauling of local rivals Derby.
"I have given a recommendation to the board with regards to him, we'll see what happens."
Injury
Davies is also hoping Ryan Bertrand will be sticking around at Forest in the New Year.
The Chelsea full-back is another due to return to his parent club in January, having taken in the first half of the season with the Reds.
The England U21 international did pick up a slight knock against Derby in midweek, and will be sidelined as a result, but Davies feels he would still be a useful asset to have around.
"Ryan has a hamstring problem which is going to sideline him for a few weeks," the Scot told the
Nottingham Evening Post.
"It is in the hands of the panel (whether Bertrand's loan is extended). I have advised what I think should happen and we now have to see what can be done."
