Super Eagles defender Ola Aina has provided an update on his recovery as Nottingham Forest prepares to face Everton in their next Premier League outing. While earlier reports hinted at a possible return in time for the clash, that scenario now appears unlikely, reports Nigeriasoccernet.com.
Aina, 27, sustained a calf injury during Forest’s match against Manchester United, and his recovery timeline remains uncertain. A recent post on the defender’s official Snapchat account showed him still using crutches, suggesting that he is not yet close to full fitness.
The Nigerian international has been one of Forest’s standout performers this season and is widely regarded as a strong contender for the club’s Player of the Year award. His absence has been felt both on and off the pitch.
Manager Nuno Espírito Santo values Aina’s versatility and defensive solidity, and his return is seen as vital to Forest’s push for Premier League survival. For now, fans and teammates alike will be hoping for a swift recovery as the club navigates a crucial stretch of the season.
