Vitor Pereira drops Nottingham Forest team news hint before 'important' Tottenham clash | OneFootball

Forest have two huge games before the international break

Forest take on FC Midtjylland in the second leg of their Europa League last-16 showdown on Thursday evening, needing to win by two clear goals at minimum to progress to the quarter-finals.

However, the game falls three days before a massive Premier League relegation six-pointer away at Tottenham.

Forest were held to a goalless draw by Fulham last weekend, meaning they are a point behind Spurs and only out of the relegation zone by virtue of a superior goal difference to West Ham.

He said: “For me, it is a pity that I need to make decisions, to think not just about this game but the next two games. I need to think about it because it is important for the club.

“Of course, the Europa League is important for the club but the [Premier] League is very important for the club.

“The next [domestic] game is against Tottenham and Tottenham are competing with us for the same target, to be safe in the Premier League. I must try to compete in both competitions, [but] I cannot forget the next game in the Premier League.

“I cannot forget it because it’s an important game for us.

“I believe to play on our level and to compete in a way I want to compete we need to be fresh mentally and physically. If we were in a safe position in the Premier League table, it [would be] completely different.”

Ola Aina, Nikola Milenkovic and captain Morgan Gibbs-White are among the players that have made the trip to Denmark, though whether any feature in the Europa League decider remains to be seen.
