EPL: Nottingham Forest to assess Aina ahead Brentford clash

Nottingham Forest manager Nuno Espírito Santo has provided an update on Ola Aina’s fitness ahead of his side’s Premier League clash with Brentford.

Aina has missed Forest’s last four matches across all competitions due to a calf injury.

The Nigeria international has returned to training and is edging closer to full fitness.

Nuno confirmed that the defender will be assessed ahead of the fixture.

“We still have one more day, assessing all the players, trying to make the decisions,” he said ahead of the game.

“All the players who have been out are important to us. We have spoken many times about that.

“We have been missing Ola, especially because of the stability of the back four we had and the routines.”
