Nottingham Forest have decried “fake news” and “baseless and ill-informed outrage” over the confrontation between the club’s owner, Evangelos Marinakis, and manager Nuno Espirito Santo at the end of Sunday’s match against Leicester City.
The Greek businessman remonstrated with Nuno after the sides’ 2-2 draw, with Forest saying in a statement released on Tuesday that the reason behind the incident was his anger that one of the club’s players had continued after an injury.
