Nottingham Forest boss Oliver Glasner has been conducting his pre-match press conference ahead of Saturday’s game against Manchester City.

Glasner tore into his Forest players last week following a drab 2-0 defeat to Brentford, and he will be hoping his players show a little bit more against the Citizens this weekend.

Now, ahead of the contest, Glasner has released details of another injury setback for the Reds, and it’s one that won’t go down too well with the club’s supporters.

Oliver Glasner explains Nicolas Dominguez blow

The Argentine made his first start of the season against Arsenal recently, and although he came off in the game, he was largely impressive on his maiden Premier League start this season.

Now, Glasner has shared that the niggle that has kept Dominguez out of the last two matches is worse than anticipated, with the player expected to be on the sidelines for eight weeks.

The head coach said: “Nicolo Savona has joined team training today, we have to manage the load, but it looks like he will play over the international break. Igor Jesus has trained all week and has looked good. Nicolas Dominguez has had a setback and will now be out for around eight weeks now.”

This is a huge blow to the Reds, with Dominguez proving a very popular player last season and in the years since he arrived at Forest from Bologna.

Dominguez brings energy around the pitch and the ability to keep the ball moving quickly – something which Xaver Schlager has struggled with on certain occasions this season.

The player will be sorely missed in the Forest ranks over the next two months, and surely, another central midfielder will now be in the sights of Glasner once the transfer window reopens.
