"We will make sure any supporter caught up in this incident receives whatever financial support they require to enable them to access the best possible medical care as they recover.

"Our thoughts and prayers are with all those affected."

Forest drew 2-2 with Manchester United to end a run of four successive league defeats.

The club added: "Nottingham Forest Football Club wishes to express its deepest concern and heartfelt sympathy to all those affected by the shocking attack on an LNER train bound for London yesterday evening.

"Many of our London-based supporters were travelling home on that train following our match at the City Ground, and our thoughts are very much with everyone caught up in such a distressing incident.

"The club is aware that many individuals demonstrated extraordinary bravery which undoubtedly helped prevent even greater harm.
