Impossible to shield Forest players from FA Cup glare - Nuno
- Published
Boss Nuno Espirito Santo knows it is "impossible" to ignore the scale of Nottingham Forest's FA Cup semi final against Manchester City.
Forest face City in their first FA Cup semi-final since 1991 on Sunday as they look to continue their outstanding season.
They sit third in the Premier League with five games remaining in the race for the Champions League.
Either Crystal Palace or Aston Villa await in the final as Nuno looks to keep his squad focused.
He said: "It's the same, we have to look at the game as the same. The approach is exactly the same, you don't have to shield them, it's impossible to shield a squad when there's so much information.
"We have to go as a group of players and staff to compete. That's the best way to enjoy a semi final, to compete."
Neco Williams and captain Ryan Yates are banned for the game but will travel with the squad
Nuno added: "They can do whatever they can, all the squad is going to travel. There's going to be a moment where we are all together. They have to give a hand outside of the pitch."
