Nottingham Forest boss Steve Cooper to Sky Sports: "A lot of the players have been away on international duty, but a lot stayed. A lot of those were new players as well so we had a bespoke training programme for them and used the time wisely."
On Jesse Lingard's selection: "Jesse has undoubted quality and experience. We need a good version of Jesse game in, game out to give us a chance to pick up points. I've talked at length to Jesse about that. We need him but we also need everyone else on the pitch to concentrate on their performance and if we do that we have the best chance of making it a positive night."
