Late calls on Forest duo for trip to Spurs

AND WOOD COULD BENEFIT FROM EXTRA REST BEFORE REDS RETURN TO ACION

- By SARAH CLAPSON

NOTTINGHAM Forest will leave it as late as possible to make calls on the fitness of injured duo Ola Aina and Taiwo Awoniyi for Monday night's away clash against Tottenham Hotspur.

Full-back Aina has been sidelined with a calf problem since being forced off in the first half of the 1-0 win over Manchester United earlier this month. Striker Awoniyi, meanwhile, has missed the past two games with a hamstring issue.

The pair were not involved in a training session with their teammates on Thursday ahead of Monday's trip to the capital to face Spurs (8pm).

But head coach Nuno Espirito Santo will make a final assessment on them closer to the game.
