EPL: Nottingham Forest boss provides injury update on Aina

Nottingham Forest manager, Steve Cooper refused to offer an assurance on Ola Aina’s availability for his side’s trip to Crystal Palace this weekend.

Aina missed the Tricky Trees last Premier League clash against Brentford due to a muscle problem.

The versatile defender is a major doubt for the clash with Crystal Palace as he is yet to fully recover from the injury.

Cooper failed to reveal the severity of Aina’s injury even as no hint was provided on whether the Nigeria international would face their London opponent.

“I don’t think we’ll see Nuno until after the international break, and on Ola we will see,” Cooper was quoted by Nottingham Forest’s official website.

The 26-year-old has made five league appearances for the Reds this season.

He was voted the club’s Player of the Month for September this week.
