Clear Steve Cooper stance set out amid Nottingham Forest 'pressure'

Goalkeeper Keylor Navas says head coach Steve Cooper retains the full support of the dressing room as Nottingham Forest fight to avoid the drop.

The Welshman’s position has come under scrutiny amid a nine-match winless run which has seen the Reds drop into the relegation zone with eight games to go. Last week, owner Evangelos Marinakis released a statement backing the manager, but warned results and performances needed to improve “immediately”.

A better display followed, against Aston Villa, but Forest still fell to a 2-0 defeat. As they prepare for Sunday’s clash with Manchester United, Navas says there is just as much pressure on the players to turn the situation around as there is on Cooper.
