Aina, Awoniyi, Forest Teammates Head To Dubai For Warm Weather Training Camp

Ola Aina, Taiwo Awoniyi and their Nottingham Forest teammates have headed to Dubai in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) for a warm weather training camp.

In a statement on the club’s website, Nuno Espírito Santo will head to Dubai with his squad ahead of a week-long training camp.

“Nuno will put his players through their paces in the heat of the UAE and also include team bonding activities, as Forest look to continue building after a 7-0 win over Brighton & Hove Albion on Saturday afternoon – the Club’s biggest win since the 1997/98 campaign.

“The first team will then return to home soil on Saturday ahead of The Reds’ Emirates FA Cup fourth round tie against Exeter City on Tuesday 11th February.

Forest Chief Football Officer Ross Wilson said: “The squad we have built is one with a clear identity and with such togetherness amongst our players and staff.

“We look forward to the training camp in Dubai which will allow Nuno and our players, along with our dedicated support staff, the time and undivided focus to continue building on that incredible team bond we have fostered this season.

“Warm weather training within the top class facilities that we have secured, will be hugely beneficial. As always our owner Evangelos Marinakis is central to everything we have built and we are thankful for his support in funding this crucial camp as we look forward to a very productive week, on and off the pitch.”

Meanwhile, Forest bounced back from their 5-0 defeat to Bournemouth with a 7-0 hammering of Brighton on Saturday.

They are in third position and tied on 47 points with second-placed Arsenal in the league table.
