Glasner on Ndyoe injury, Williams' fitness and staying positive

Nottingham Forest boss Oliver Glasner has been speaking to the media before Saturday's Premier League game against Brentford at Gtech Community Stadium (kick-off Saturday 15:00 GMT).

Here are the key lines from his news conference:

  • Glasner confirmed Nicolo Savona and Igor Jesus are "still out."

  • He added: "Nicolas Domínguez is progressing very well but we'll train for the first time tomorrow with the team, let's see if the game is maybe a little bit too early, but he should be fine and ready for Manchester City."

  • Glasner said there is a "doubt" with the readiness of Dan Ndyoe. He explained: "He felt after the game and the entire week, also the last week since returning from Switzerland with some hamstring fatigue. Let's see if he can train tomorrow with the team and does well without taking any risk. He is available and if not he will miss the game but then he should be OK for Manchester City."

  • The boss also confirmed that Neco Williams is OK. He explained: "He trained from day number one. He fell on his nerve. He was numb and had that huge pain during or in the game, but everything settled and so he trained the entire week."

  • On form, Glasner said: "I don't think that players are out of form, I think some players are showing better performances than they showed the entire last year. I feel we're completely heading into the right direction. This is now the first time where it looks like there's a little bit of stability for months now. That's why I'm completely fine with what's happening at the training ground, how the players are presenting. Of course we are not pleased with the results and with the points we have but again, that's then our job, to get the results."

  • On maintaining a sense of calm on the pitch, he added: "For me being level headed is the only solution because no player is to blame for missing a chance or clearances on the goal line. It doesn't make sense to get emotional and to starting shouting. For me it is not getting nervous, it is about sticking to what we started a few months ago."
