Nottingham Forest injuries: Ola Aina and Omari Hutchinson miss training

Nottingham Forest face a challenging week as key players Ola Aina and Omari Hutchinson are sidelined due to injury.

The Premier League club confirmed that both players are following individual training programmes and were absent from Thursday’s group session.

The defensive and attacking duo join goalkeeper Matz Sels and midfielder Elliot Anderson, who are being rested after international duty, in missing training.

“Matz Sels and Elliot Anderson are resting after their recent international commitments, while Ola Aina and Omari Hutchinson are continuing individual training programmes and will not be with the group today,” the club said in an official statement.

Aina and Hutchinson’s injuries add to Nottingham Forest’s concerns as the team enters a critical stage in its battle against relegation.

The coaching staff and medical team are closely monitoring the pair, aiming to have them back for upcoming fixtures, which will test the squad’s depth and resilience.

Forest manager continues to adapt his training plans to compensate for the absences, while ensuring players returning from international duty are not overworked. The club has emphasized the importance of maintaining player fitness during a period that could define their Premier League survival.

The team will need contributions from fringe players and those returning from rest to navigate a demanding schedule in the coming weeks.

Fitness updates for Aina and Hutchinson are expected as the club continues to manage the delicate balance between recovery and preparation.
