Nottingham Forest international break plan as 11 players leave Oliver Glasner’s squad for duty

Nottingham Forest head coach Oliver Glasner has outlined his plans for the international break following a 3-1 home victory against Manchester City. With 11 senior players departing for international duty, remaining squad members will participate in training and a friendly at the Nigel Doughty Academy. Glasner emphasized that his team cannot relax ahead of their November 21 match against Bournemouth, demanding sustained focus and intensity to build on their second win of the season.

Glasner highlighted ball possession and adaptability as primary areas for development after Forest held only 21 percent possession against Enzo Maresca's side. The training fortnight will also offer recovery time for Nicolo Savona following a long-term knee injury, as well as Igor Jesus after his recent return from a calf issue.
