Forest Round-Up, Thursday 29th October: Glasner Sends Out Injury Warning as Forest Prepare for Brentford Trip

Team news is starting to dominate the agenda ahead of the weekend's Premier League trip to Brentford, with Oliver Glasner using his pre-match press conference to flag a doubt over one of his key men (Sports Mole). The Nottingham Post also reports a fresh injury concern for Forest heading into the game, adding to the uncertainty around the squad (Nottingham Post). Glasner's media duties covered plenty of ground, with the head coach giving reporters a fuller sense of his thinking ahead of a game he knows is important for Forest's season (Nottingham Post).

Elsewhere in his press conference, Glasner was also asked about owner Evangelos Marinakis, and offered what the Nottingham Post describes as a note of 'reassurance' on the subject (Nottingham Post). It all adds up to a build-up dominated by Glasner's words as Forest look to pick up only their second Premier League win of the campaign away at Brentford (Nottingham Post).

Off the pitch, there's some positive reading for Forest supporters, with a report highlighted by the Nottingham Post suggesting the club's transfer business has been given a seal of approval after player values were said to have risen by some £150m (Nottingham Post). It's a numbers-based verdict rather than anything to do with results on the pitch, but it will be welcomed by fans who like to see shrewd business rewarded.

In a wider piece looking at under-performing Premier League sides, Football365 included Forest among clubs they argue are not quite as bad as their recent standing suggests, lumping them in with the likes of Manchester United as teams who should arguably be doing better than their current position implies (Football365).

Away from football matters, there was a poignant story from the Nottingham Post involving a lifelong Forest fan. Stephen Crean, said to have supported the Reds for more than 50 years, was described in court as having acted heroically during a knife attack in Huntingdon, with a recording of his call played to the court describing the attacker as being on a 'mission' (Nottingham Post).

That's the main Forest news from Thursday evening - attention now turns to team news updates and Saturday's game at Brentford.
