    Nottingham Forest captain Ryan Yates believes new head coach Oliver Glasner can bring "really exciting times" to the City Ground, and says new signing Xaver Schlager is "going to fit in" with the rest of the first-team squad.

    Yates, 28, is a product of the club's academy set-up and has amassed 277 senior appearances for the Reds.

    "We have a really friendly and welcoming dressing room," Yates told the club's YouTube channel. "I was sat with him [Xaver Schlager] on the bus a couple of days ago on the way to one of his first training sessions.

    "I was picking his brains about the manager and what he had done previously himself. He is really positive, he is going to fit in and he will be a big part of what we do."

    On working under Glasner, Yates added: "It has been super positive for me. He has brought in some new ideas that I haven't come across yet in my career.

    "These are really exciting times. I'm looking forward to improving a lot, not just individually but also collectively as a team. We've got off to a really good start, so let's keep progressing."

    Nottingham Forest are yet to lose a game in pre-season, having claimed a 2-0 victory over Notts County, a 3-0 win over Blackburn and a draw with Vitoria de Guimaraes.

    Nottingham Forest continued their pre-season preparations in Portugal with a 1-1 draw against Vitoria de Guimaraes in a behind closed doors friendly.

    Igor Jesus made it three goals in three pre-season games by reacting quickest to Ola Aina's effort inside the penalty area just 27 minutes in, before Miguel Nogueira scored a second-half penalty for the Primeira Liga side.

    The 25-year-old striker, who scored 16 goals last season, continued his fine form under new boss Oliver Glasner as both sides battled in the Algarve heat.

    The Reds are in the middle of a 12-day training camp in Portugal which will conclude on Friday with a behind-closed-doors fixture against Portimonense (11:00 BST) and an encounter with Sporting in front of supporters (19:45 BST).

    Xaver Schlager is not part of a Nottingham Forest rebuild - the Reds certainly do not need that - but it is immediately apparent Oliver Glasner is making his mark on the squad.

    Schlager played for Glasner at Wolfsburg and the Austrian taking charge at the City Ground and his influence have clearly helped in the move for the midfielder.

    Forest always wanted two midfielders to help replace Elliot Anderson and Schlager offers good experience with no transfer fee.

    With over half a century of caps for Austria, Schlager will deliver know-how and help solidify Forest's midfield after Anderson's exit. Anderson's influence at Forest was key and it would be unfair to expect the same impact from the 28-year-old, at least straight away.

    Glasner was confident Forest would have signings join them on camp in Portugal this week and Tottenham's Lucas Bergvall remains the top midfield target.

    Forest are still chasing the Sweden international and he would be viewed as the main replacement for Anderson, should he eventually move to the City Ground.

    It is about quality this summer and Forest have already set their stall out by moving for Glasner to replace Vitor Pereira earlier this month.
