Nottingham Forest confirm World Cup plans with two friendlies announced

Nottingham Forest have confirmed their plans for a winter training camp during the World Cup.

The Reds have announced that they will be going to Greece for a six-day training camp, where they will be hosted by Olympiacos, and will play two friendlies in that time. The club's statement reads: "The Club can confirm plans for a winter training camp in Greece during our mid-season World Cup break next month.
