Nottingham Forest and Nigeria defender Ola Aina is set for an extended period on the sidelines after sustaining a calf injury during his side’s 1-0 victory over Manchester United.
The former Torino and Chelsea full-back pulled up unchallenged in the 35th minute, prompting medical staff to attend to him on the pitch. Although he initially attempted to continue, he was eventually helped off and replaced by Alex Moreno.
