Nottingham Forest boss Vitor Pereira has been speaking to the media before Sunday's final Premier League game of the season against Bournemouth at the City Ground (kick-off 16:00 BST).

Here are the key lines from his news conference:

• Murillo, who is still out of first-team training, and Ola Aina, who has only just started training on grass again, will not be available for selection.

• Pereira explained: "We are at a point in the season where we will not take risks. Of course we want to win, but this isn't a final or a game that will decide big things. We will do everything to get a result, but it isn't possible to take risks."

• However, Dan Ndoye has completed two training sessions with the squad and could be available for selection.

• When asked if he is still thinking about the Manchester United goal that should have been ruled out, Pereira replied: "I still have the same opinion that I transmitted to the referee. I accept the decision because I also make mistakes, but it was a mistake that decided the game. It wasn't fair and I like to see fair football."

• The Forest boss, however, does not agree with Michael Salisbury not being selected for the final day of Premier League fixtures. Instead, he would like to see the referee "correct his mistake and learn from the experience".

• Pereira held a meeting with his players on Thursday before the final game of the season, in which he said: "I hope we can keep most of them because they are a very good group with a lot of character. I don't want to do anything that involves a lot of changes [this summer] because we already have a good base to build something strong for the future."

• He added: "I also told them they are one of the best groups I've worked with in my career. They are very easy to work with, to convince and to create the true spirit of a team with. For me, they are a privilege to manage."

• This will not be "a game for experiments" as he already feels he has "a good perspective" of his players and he knows "what they can or can't give" in different positions.

• On Bournemouth's successes this season, having qualified for European football for the first time in their history: "What can I say other than fantastic work. They are a very tough team. They run a lot and they play with a lot of intensity, so we won't have time to recover against them."

• He added: "We need to be ready because we are playing at home and it is the last game of the season. The club, the supporters and the team deserve to finish in a good way, but to do that we must compete against a strong team."

• Morgan Gibbs-White "obviously deserves" a spot in Thomas Tuchel's official World Cup squad feels Pereira, and he added: "At the end of the day, he has done everything in his control to be there. All we can do in life is do our best and see what happens."

• The pair had a "short talk together" on Thursday in which Gibbs-White outlined his "expectation to go" to the major tournament.
