Nottingham Forest's Ola Aina

Nottingham Forest have been hit by a big injury blow ahead of Ange Postecoglou’s first game in charge.

The new Reds head coach will take his team to the Emirates Stadium on Saturday (12.30pm kick-off) to take on Arsenal. It is straight in at the deep end for Postecoglou, having been announced as Nuno Espirito Santo’s replacement on Tuesday.

Such a quick turnaround means Postecoglou will have had limited time with his squad before the clash with the Gunners. He now faces being without a key player for a significant period of time.

According to The Telegraph, full-back Ola Aina is likely to be out of action for at least three months due to a hamstring problem. The Nigerian sustained the injury earlier this week while on international duty.
