Nuno Espirito Santo will, therefore, have a little bit l🔯onger to work with his players before they next take to the pitch at the City Ground.

But the Portuguese manager will have to consider the tight turnaround with their followin𓄧g game coming on Friday night against Leicester City.

A number of players are returning to Forest following their international call-ups and there is one who really impressed Morgan Gibbs-White.
