AliousTeam camaraderie took center stage as four Nottingham Forest players celebrated the New Year with a trip to the French Alps.
Head coach Nuno Espirito Santo granted his squad some downtime following their impressive 2-0 victory over Everton at Goodison Park, a win that marked Forest’s fifth consecutive Premier League triumph.
With no matches scheduled until their Monday night showdown against Wolverhampton Wanderers, Morgan Gibbs-White, Anthony Elanga, Neco Williams, and Elliot Anderson seized the opportunity to unwind in Val D’Isère alongside their partners.
While social media posts captured the group enjoying their holiday, Nuno was quick to clarify that skiing wasn’t on the agenda.
The Portuguese manager emphasized the trust he places in his players and viewed the trip as a testament to the strong bond within the squad.
“They didn’t ski. They’re healthy,” Nuno assured reporters. “When I first saw the news, I was worried. But I trust them—they’re responsible boys.
They enjoyed time with their partners and came back in good shape. Unless a photo or post proves otherwise, I believe them.”
Nuno added that life involves risks whether at home or elsewhere. “Things happen. You can fall off a ladder at home. Life is meant to be enjoyed.
The team has been performing brilliantly, so how could I say no to them taking a break?”
The trip highlights the camaraderie fueling Forest’s stellar season so far.
Gibbs-White, who netted his third goal of the campaign against Everton, will join Nuno in revisiting familiar territory as both prepare for a return to their former club, Wolves, on Monday night.
