Current Nottingham Forest news as Nuno Espirito Santo’s team gets ready for a Premier League match against Bournemouth
Prior to Sunday’s Premier League matchup with Bournemouth, head coach Nuno Espirito Santo has stated that Nottingham Forest is facing some “problems” with injuries.
Due to a hamstring injury, Chris Wood left the game at halftime of Tuesday night’s 2-1 loss to Arsenal. Regarding the striker’s condition, Nuno did not reveal much, but he is questionable for the trip to the south coast.Although they made their returns against the Gunners, Taiwo Awoniyi and Anthony Elanga might not be prepared to start against the Cherries. Felipe, the center back, was not used in the midweek and has only made three appearances this season due to hamstring and knee issues. Divock Origi, an AC Milan loanee, has also been sidelined lately, but he is still expected to go because American interest in him exists and the transfer window is still open.Taiwo Awoniyi and Anthony Elanga may not be ready to start against the Cherries despite making their comebacks against the Gunners. Due to hamstring and knee problems, Felipe, the center back, was not used in the midweek and has only made three appearances this season. Although AC Milan loanee Divock Origi has also been out of commission lately, he is still anticipated to depart because American interest in him is still present and the transfer window is still open.The fact that you had to play every game with the same players and couldn’t rotate or rest anyone made it a very difficult time. While some problems are common, we still need to wait and see.
After Senegal was eliminated from the Africa Cup of Nations, defender Moussa Niakhate returned to the United Kingdom. It is unclear if he will play at the Vitality Stadium. Cheikhou Kouyate, a countryman, will eventually become involved with Forest because his father passed away recently. Throughout the competition, Ola Aina (of Nigeria), Serge Aurier, Willy Boly, and Ibrahim Sangare (all of Ivory Coast) will continue to represent their countries.
“Moussa came back today. He appears fine, Nuno remarked, despite the fact that the 27-year-old missed the game-winning penalty as Senegal lost to Ivory Coast in a shootout in the round of 16. “He had a typical day today; he begins training with the group tomorrow.”
Cheikhou was allowed to remain for an additional day due to his father’s untimely death. We gave him permission to live with his family and settle down.
