Nottingham Forest head coach Sean Dyche has said Ola Aina is making progress in his recovery from a hamstring injury, NEWSUNPLUG reports.
Aina sustained the injury while on international duty with Nigeria in September.
The 29-year-old was left out of the Super Eagles squad to the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations due to the injury.
The full-back featured for Forest’s U-21 side against Millwall this week in a bid to build his fitness.
Dyche revealed Aina is recovering fast from the injury.
“Ola is halfway through his progress in fitness, training more regularly with the team now, so that is good. Obviously, it’s been a long-term injury, so we have to be careful with that one,”
The former Chelsea star is expected to return to action for Forest in the new year.
