Ange Postecoglou dealt instant blow with Nottingham Forest star to be removed from Premier League squad
Ange Postecoglou has been dealt an immediate injury blow with Nottingham Forest star Ola Aina ruled out for at least three months. The Forest left-back was forced off with a hamstring tear after just 10 minutes of Nigeria’s 1-1 draw with South Africa on Tuesday. Aina was a standout player for Forest during the 2024/25 seasonGetty Aina was able to walk off the pitch when being replaced but was clearly in a degree of discomfort. According to The Telegraph, new Forest boss Postecoglou will be without the 28-year-old for a minimum of three months. The injury means Aina will be removed from Forest’s Premier League squad. Aina played a key role for the Midlands club last season as they secured a return to European football for the first time in 29 years. The Nigerian featured in 35 of 38 league games, scoring twice, under former boss Nuno Espirito Santo and has started all three of Forest’s matches so far this season. In his first press conference as Nottingham Forest boss, Postecoglou referenced Aina as being his only injury concern ahead of Saturday lunchtime’s trip to Arsenal – live and exclusive on talkSPORT. “We have a clean bill of health apart from Aina,” Postecoglou said. “He had a problem with the national team. “We’ve sent him for some scans and we should get the results this afternoon. The rest of the boys, today is the first day I’ve had my eyes on them and they’re all fine.” Who can step in for Aina? Deadline day loan signing Olekandr Zinchenko would have been the likely deputy for Aina but he is unavailable to play against his parent club. Therefore, summer signing from Juventus Nicolo Savona, is expected to fill in at left-back. Oleksandr Zinchenko is unable to feature for Forest against parent club Arsenal in the absence of AinaGetty Ange Postecoglou goes straight into the lions den for his first taste of action as Forest bossGetty Saturday’s trip to the Emirates Stadium will be Postecoglou’s first match in charge of the Reds. The Australian was sacked as Tottenham boss in June and just weeks after leading the club to Europa League glory. His time away from football was a short one but his return could not be any more explosive than at the home of his former north London rivals. Postecoglou failed to register a single victory over the Gunners while in charge of Tottenham and expects another tough test at the Emirates. “It is what it is,” he told reporters. “The first four games are away so I got a good look at the stadium today. “Every Premier League fixture is challenging. It’s a great game. Mikel (Arteta) has got them off to a good start.
