Nottingham Forest suffer big injury blow before Arsenal game

Nottingham Forest have suffered a big injury blow ahead of their Premier League game against Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium tomorrow.

Forest have had a decent start to the campaign with four points from three games and will be eyeing another victory against the Gunners on the road.

Ahead of the game, they have suffered an untimely setback with Ola Aina picking up a hamstring injury on international duty with Nigeria.

As a result, he will be ruled out for the next three months and will thereby not be included in the Premier League squad until the turn of the year.

Forest have just changed their manager with Ange Postecoglou replacing Nuno Espirito Santo and the setback has come at the wrong time.

Postecoglou would ideally want his best starting line-up against Mikel Arteta's side, but won't have the luxury of playing Aina in defence.

Forest will be eyeing their first win over Arsenal in five attempts.
