Nottingham Forest are hopeful of welcoming back Nigerian internationals Ola Aina and Taiwo Awoniyi as they gear up for crucial Premier League matches. Manager Nuno Espirito Santo expressed optimism regarding Awoniyi’s recovery from a hamstring injury sustained during the clash with Manchester United. The striker’s absence was notably felt in Forest’s 2-1 defeat to Aston Villa, highlighting his vital role in the team’s attack. Meanwhile, Ola Aina is continuing his rehabilitation from a calf injury that forced him off early in the same Manchester United game and is expected to miss at least one more fixture. The club is closely monitoring both players’ fitness, with final decisions on their availability to be made on a day-to-day basis. Their return is considered key to Forest’s efforts to strengthen the squad and improve results as the season approaches its final stages.
