Ola Aina has quenched fears of any injury scare after playing a pivotal role in Nottingham Forest’s historical victory against Manchester United at The City Ground yesterday, Nigeriasoccernet.com writes.
Anthony Elanga’s stunning first-half goal was the difference as Nuno Santos’s side recorded a first league double (English Premier League) over Man United for the first time since 1991/92, a win that further solidified Forest’s blistering run this season as they chase European football.
The Super Eagles defender’s match was cut short as he was substituted in the 36th minute, making way for Alex Moreno after being unable to continue playing. Although his early exit suggested a possible injury sustained during the game, the former Torino FC full-back has moved to allay any fears among fans.
In a recent video shared on his social media, he offered reassurance, indicating that his withdrawal was not due to a serious issue and that there is no cause for concern regarding his fitness.
Espirito Santos would be hoping it’s nothing serious on Aina as they travel next to Aston Villa.
