(Reuters) -Nottingham Forest are short of options across the pitch and in urgent need of reinforcements for the start of the season, manager Nuno Espirito Santo said on Friday, warning that a lack of depth could hamper their first European campaign since 1996.

Forest are set to play in the Europa League, having been promoted in Crystal Palace's place after the Court of Arbitration for Sport dismissed the London club's appeal against UEFA's decision to demote them to the Conference League.
