Ola Aina - calf
Nottingham Forest's defender Ola Aina (28) sustained an injury during the first half of the Premier League match against Manchester United on April 1, 2025. The full-back went down during the first half at the ground and required treatment on the pitch for what appeared to be a calf problem.He was substituted around the 40th minute, with Alex Moreno coming on as his replacement.
Head coach Nuno Espírito Santo expressed concern about the injury, noting that it occurred without any apparent contact. He stated, "We have to assess. It is always a concern when a player gets injured by himself. He is going to have a scan and we will see how it is. We're not quite sure what it is, only the scan will say exactly."

Further medical evaluations, including scans, are scheduled to ascertain the severity and to establish a timeline for his return. (Source: Paul Taylor, The Athletic)

Nottingham Forest secure another landmark win over Manchester United, but must wait for outcome of a scan to discover extent of Ola Aina's injury. #NFFC should have Callum Hudson-Odoi back to face Villa - and are hopeful on Chris Wood. https://t.co/DzTADsYsfq
