Nathaniel Chalobah

At half-time, the on-loan Chelsea midfielder told Forest’s deputy manager Ned Kelly that he believed he was subjected to racist chanting from a section of the home support in the first half.

The 18 year old, who claims to have been initially subject to verbal abuse from the same section after receiving treatment for an injury in the opening minutes, was upset by the alleged abuse and struggled to keep his concentration during the interval as a result.

Nottingham Forest treat any incident of this nature extremely seriously and will be liaising closely with the relevant authorities in their investigation of this issue. Both clubs are in communication regarding the alleged incident and hope to uncover the truth as quickly as possible for all concerned parties.

"It's going to be a great experience. Everyone watches the Premier League and it's every boy's dream to play in the Premier League, so I'm just waiting for my chance."

"The manager has a good relationship with all the players at Chelsea and thinks highly of us. You definitely don't get forgotten.

"There are people coming to watch your games and phone us and there are clips available of our games and what we need to do to put us in a good position when you go back to Chelsea.

"To try and come here and give a good impression could obviously put me in a better position when I go back."

"I'm a Chelsea player for the next few years and I'm always going to have that belief I can play for Chelsea, that's not going to change."

"I think for every youngster at the club it's always good to have that belief you can break into the team."

"There are world-class names playing and it is always going to be difficult."

"That's not to say you should give up on it, but you're training and going out on loan to impress, and you never know."

"There are still youngsters there who could get a chance there this year, so anything is possible."
