Nuno Espirito Santo's Nottingham Forest isn't fretting over the failed appeal against their four-point deduction for violating financial regulations, according to Ola Aina.



The club faced charges in January for surpassing Profitability and Sustainability Rules (PSR) by £34.5m, exceeding the permitted threshold of £61m for the 2022/23 assessment period.

This penalty marks Forest as the second Premier League team to face repercussions for PSR breaches, following Everton's loss of 10 points in November (later reduced to six on appeal).

Presently, Forest sits in the 17th spot, with just a three-point margin from the relegation zone and two games left in the season. Nonetheless, Aina emphasizes that the team's primary focus remains on securing their top-flight status.

“I’m not really bothered about it to be honest. We’ve always been focussing on what we want to do, which is going into games and getting points anyway,” Aina told BBC Sport.
“You could say it’s helpful [getting clarity before the end of the season] but the energy around the club was like it has been forgotten about anyway, especially among the players. We didn’t really talk or think about it – we were just thinking about getting points as we normally would.
“It feels good that it’s in our hands. We can take control of that. I don’t think [it is nervy], I think the boys enjoy the task. I really enjoy going out there and having to get something. That’s the joy of football.
“It would be fantastic [to secure Premier League survival] and I do think we’ll do it. It will be fantastic to have that bit of relief, whether that’s this week or next week.”

Forest will face Aina’s former club Chelsea at the City Ground in their next game on Saturday.
