Despite a close 2-0 loss yesterday, Forest showed true grit and could have won something else.
Josko Gvardiol and Erling Haaland’s goals secured the win for the champions, while Forest is still only one point above the relegation zone.
With two of those matches taking place away from the City Ground against Burnley and Sheffield United, the Reds now only have three games left in the season.
Espirito Santo seemed proud of his players after yesterday’s game, but he also had some news to deliver regarding a few potential new ailments.
Nuno Espirito Santo shares two new Nottingham Forest injuries
It never rains or pours in Trentside when it comes to injuries, and Forest now has a few more to contend with.
Given that both players had strong performances versus City, the Reds will be hoping that these turn out to be nothing serious.

Forest need defensive duo back for Saturday
Such a loss of two players would be quite damaging, and in the end, Forest needs to hope for some good news.
The Reds’ Premier League position could be in jeopardy if they don’t defeat the Blades the following Saturday.
While Forest is more than capable of defeating a demoted team away from home, having Boly and Murillo would undoubtedly increase their chances.
When called upon this season, both players have performed admirably; Boly in particular has made the Reds appear considerably more formidable.
Forest is currently anxiously awaiting word on whether defense tandem Boly and Murillo are healthy enough to play the next weekend.
