    Nottingham Forest boss Nuno Espirito Santo has been speaking to the media before Sunday's Premier League game against West Ham (kick-off 14:15 BST).

    Here are the key lines from his news conference:

    • On Taiwo Awoniyi: "He went to surgery, the surgery went well, thank God. He's in observation now. I think he's recovering but we still have to wait for the doctors to allow visits. His family are there, we are concerned but we are positive. The information that we have is that he has to be there for at least five days in observation. We will try to visit him, I will try to visit him as soon as possible but he is in very good hands. What he needs is the of their family."

    • Nuno reiterated that the referees cannot be "blamed" for how the situation with Awoniyi developed because the "law is like that". He said referees have "instructions to follow."

    • On the mindset going into last two games: "The mindset is very clear, it is our last opportunity to try and fight for Champions League. We are talking about something so huge for us. We are preparing ourselves and training hard."

    • Nuno stated that "it has been difficult" to focus on West Ham because of the absence of Awoniyi and the concern of the players as they were constantly looking for an update on his condition. He reaffirmed that they have an "obligation to prepare" for the game and move forward.

    • On West Ham: "We are going to improve our game, we have to be solid. But we are also facing a tough team. Good players, good squad, Potter is there and it's going to be tough on us."

    • Nuno said that the group is disappointed with recent results and performances but the "only solution is to regroup and go again".

    • The Forest boss stated they "have been able to bounce back from bad moments" and they want to "give it a go".

    • On nominations for Anthony Elanga, Morgan Gibbs-White and himself in the young player, player and manager of the year awards respectively, Nuno said: "The players have been working really well and hard. We've been able to have more good performances than bad and we are delighted. I am a part of something big that is the coaching staff. There's too many people that work really hard behind the scenes that you don't know. I am just the face."

    Former Nottingham Forest goalkeeper Mark Crossley has been discussing the club's European qualification on the Shut Up and Show More Football podcast: "It is a great achievement, and something I don't think at the beginning of the season any of us expected.

    "It has been a great season, it is a bit of a shame it has filtered off towards the end of the season but there is still a chance of Champions League football and the main thing is that club is back in Europe.

    "We experienced the Uefa Cup back in the 90s and it was a great tournament with great teams, and it will be nice to get Forest back on the map that way - they're certainly going the right way about doing that again these days.

    "I've always been one for saying possession doesn't win you football matches, clean sheets win you football matches and the team have done it superbly. I like the way Nuno has been relaxed about it all and just get on it.

    "I think the injuries they are getting towards the end of the season now is down to the sheer hard work. When you watch the team, I love the way the players come off absolutely shattered which means they have out hell of a lot into every single game. Eventually it will catch up to you when you have not got a massive squad.

    "The players will be thinking now, after all the hard work we have done, just the final step now in the season – can we go that one step further?

    "Everyone can be very proud of this season."
