    Nottingham Forest boss Nuno Espirito Santo has been speaking to the media before Monday's Premier League game at Wolves (kick-off 20:00 GMT).

    Here are the key lines from his news conference:

    • Murillo and Callum Hudson-Odoi are "much better" and could be selected: "We will decide tomorrow but I think they're going to be OK."

    • On contract extensions for Ola Aina and Chris Wood: "I think things are going well and the players are working very, very good."

    • He said Forest are "enjoying" what they are doing and "living in the moment". He added: "The boys have been working hard since day one and they commit themselves. What I hope and want is to continue performing well and making our fans happy."

    • On the transfer window, he said: "The most important thing and the only thing that is really basic for us is that we don't get distracted by the transfer window. Players that are here [need to] stay focused, commit themselves and work hard, and let things happen naturally. People who have to deal with that will deal with the work. But in terms of the group and work ethic, it has to stay the same."

    • Nuno added: "You never know what is going to happen in the transfer window, but our goal is to keep our players intact. That is difficult because clubs are looking at all the possibilities, with us included on that. This is our priority."

    • On the eight-day gap between the win at Everton and the trip to Wolves: "We have to prepare for the game - that's what we've been doing. It's time to go again and ask the boys to give it everything that they have. That's the idea - no stepping back, we are moving forwards. We have more time [to prepare] but it was necessary because we had a very busy schedule and very demanding and intense games against tough opponents. It was good in terms of recovering."

    • On new Wolves boss Vitor Pereira, who has picked up seven points from his first three games in charge: "It's too soon to see the change. You can see the players, the look and the results help; the performances help. I know Vitor from a long time ago, the beginning of our careers. He's had a very good career as a manager. We expect a tough match against good teams. Wolves have a very good squad."
