  • Published

Nuno Espirito Santo has been speaking to the media before Sunday's final game of the season at Burnley.

Here are the key lines from the Nottingham Forest boss:

  • Midfielder Nicolas Dominguez has had surgery "to solve an issue that has been dragging on" and will not be available for the final game of the season.

  • Defender Neco Williams will also miss the trip to Turf Moor.

  • On being all-but safe from relegation: "There is still a game to go and we know how football can go. It is best that we prepare the same way with commitment. We are clear about everything that can happen."

  • He said "it has not been an easy season" so "is really proud" of the players for the way they dealt with the challenges.

  • On what they need to do to improve next season: "When we go back and do analysis it will be in the right moment. We have always been able to compete really well in games. The feeling is always that we should have been better."

  • He said Chris Wood "has given so much" to the team since joining on loan in January and "is going to finish well" against Burnley.

  • On VAR and the vote to scrap it: "It is a tough one. I think it should have been better this season, so we have to hope it improves. What we want for them is to improve. I am no so sure about scrapping it."
