West Ham boss Julen Lopetegui has been speaking to the media before Saturday’s Premier League game against Nottingham Forest (kick-off 15:00 GMT).Here are the key lines from his news conference:On squad fitness: “Unfortunately [Niclas] Fullkrug is not ready to play. He’s working on his recovery. We don’t have a clear date when he will be back. He’s trying to recover with the help of medical staff. He’s out, definitely.”On facing Nottingham Forest: “Very tough, in my opinion they are playing and competing very well. They have very good, strong and physical players. They have a good coach and very clear ideas. That’s why they have 16 points and have had a brilliant start and they were able to win against Liverpool and more matches.”He added: “The demand in the match is going to be very, very high and we have to be ready. I can ensure it is going to be a strong and difficult challenge for us. We are ready to go to Nottingham. The most important thing isn’t the place, it is the match and the opponent.”When asked about the formation he plans to use, he said: “Each match is different. We decide what is best for us. Let’s see what we do in this match. Our choices aren’t the most important thing. It’s also the behaviour of the players I put on the pitch, but not only in the line-up, the players on the bench, they are key. We have to be ready, all of us.”On whether Crysencio Summerville could start: “I am not going to talk about individual players or the line-up for the next match, so let’s see. We have different situations and players to choose, so we are going to pick a team that is going to help us more to be able to compete because they demand a lot, so we have to be ready.”On the team’s energy following their win against Manchester United: “You can’t stay thinking about the past. Football is quick and it’s been a short week for us. We forgot the last match. We have to be ready for the next challenge. Sometimes when you lose you have to keep positive, you have to improve. It’s the same this week. I always want to win. We are more happy when we win.”Follow all of Thursday’s Premier League news conferences and the rest of the day’s football news Sandi Toksvig is joined by Gyles Brandreth, Lulu, Emmanuel Sonubi and Alan DaviesGrab the mic for Queen, Taylor Swift, Bon Jovi, Katy Perry and more…Ben Fogle and Kate Humble are back for the festivities at Longleat Safari ParkFrom micro plastics in our air, soil, and waterways, to the extent of food waste at this time of year© 2024 BBC.
