Premier League Nottingham Forest is set to free Ola Aina, who received a call-up to Nigeria’s international team for the upcoming international break, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

The 26-year-old will be hoping to face Saudi Arabia on October 11th but the Chelsea product missed Forest’s 1-1 draw against Brentford at the weekend.

According to Nottingham Forest News, despite no comment on the fitness of Aina, it is unknown whether the Nigerian will be back in time to face Crystal Palace on Saturday evening.

He’s had a great start to life at the City Ground, especially considering he’s mostly played out of position during his time at the club.

Although he won the club’s Player of the Month award for September, there are concerns about the 26-year-old’s fitness after already missing two games this season through injury.

Whilst the call-up is thoroughly deserved, it may be seen as a hindrance to his Forest form should he pick up another knock on international duty.

This could turn into a bigger worry, based on the Reds’ recent luck with injuries.

Aina looks like the sort of player who will work tirelessly to ensure he stays in the Forest team.

As a result, he looks like becoming a very good character and a player who will quickly adhere himself to the fans.

Although he’s received his call-up, Forest will hope he can stay injury-free should he represent his nation during the upcoming break.
