Glasner on Gibbs-White fitness, Wood's message to strikers and Arsenal

Nottingham Forest boss Oliver Glasner has been speaking to the media before Sunday's Premier League game against Arsenal at the City Ground (kick-off 16:30 BST).

Here are the key lines from his news conference:

  • On team news, Glasner said Nicola Savona and Igor Jesus are out because of injury, but Nikola Milenkovic "could be in the matchday squad".

  • He also revealed that Morgan Gibbs-White has failed to train with the squad this week after suffering a minor muscle injury against Crystal Palace and is "doubtful" for Sunday's game. He added that the England international will have the chance to train on Saturday and the club will see how he reacts.

  • On the fact his side missed big chances in the game against Palace and how they can do better against Arsenal, Glasner explained: "No team has seven, eight big chances like we had against Palace [against Arsenal] but it's possible to have two or three. Then, it's up us to be clinical, taking the chances and then you have the chance to win the game."

  • On his strikers struggling in front of goal, Glasner said: "Today, the main topic was finishing in training. Before the training, I told the players what we're going to do and then I said the one who can explain it best how to deal with this situation is Chris Wood."

  • He added: "Overall, [he's scored] around 200 goals in English football and he had to deal with these situations." Wood's message was: "Always be confident, never lose trust in yourself, and there's always another one around the corner. Glasner added: "And that's exactly how it is. I could see players start to smile and that's how you best to deal with it."

  • The Austrian boss was highly complimentary of the Gunners saying: "In every game this season they were outrunning the opposition. It's incredible. The effort and the mindset Mikel [Arteta] has created there is incredible."

  • He added: "This makes it so tough to play against them and you see it from every single player. They have so many world-class players they can react from the bench."
