Forest boss Nuno explains holding back Gibbs-White in FA Cup draw

Nottingham Forest boss Nuno has explained holding back Morgan Gibbs-White for last night's FA Cup draw at Bristol City.

Gibbs-White was a halftime substitute for the Fourth Round 0-0 draw.

Nuno explained: "We had to do something because the first half was not going well. Of course it's good to have options in these moments and being able to bring back Morgan. Everyone knows how important he is for us, with the way he plays and the spaces he finds.

“We have to manage him properly. He is coming back (from injury). He did a good 45 minutes.

“He didn't have too many training sessions. I think it was a good decision for him to play 45 minutes. He will start against Arsenal - if nothing happens.

Neco Williams wasn't playing in his original position, but we must try to create solutions. He is a right full-back. He played as a winger, but he did really well."
