Nuno has a problem to solve as Ola is ruled out
Nottingham Post
|April 04, 2025
A ROCK-solid defence has been the cornerstone of Nottingham Forest's Champions League charge this season but Nuno Espirito Santo may have a problem to solve this weekend.
The Reds have reaped the rewards of having a settled back line this term. Goalkeeper Matz Sels is in the running for the golden glove award, having registered his 13th clean sheet of the Premier League campaign with Tuesday night's 1-0 win over Manchester United.
Head coach Nuno has generally stuck with the same four-man defence ahead of Sels. Ola Aina, Nikola Milenkovic, Murillo and Neco Williams have pinned down their places in the starting XI.
But such consistency might be put to the test when Forest make the trip to face Aston Villa tomorrow (5.30pm). Nuno has a big decision to make regarding his team selection.
The Reds have found out they will be without fullback Ola Aina.
The Nigerian sustained a calf injury against United and was forced off in the final minutes of the first half.
Aina has had a scan and the results have confirmed he faces a spell on the sidelines, definitely missing tomorrow's game against Villa.
