Super Eagles defender Ola Aina might be back on the pitch soon, ahead of the FIFA World Cup playoffs next month.
According to Nottingham Forest manager Sean Dyche, the right-back is making good progress ahead of a possible return next month.
“We have a couple of knocks. Ola is making good progress,” the Forest manager revealed.
“And Zinchenko is a no at the moment. Unfortunately, it took longer than we thought.”
Ola Aina has been on the sidelines since September after sustaining a hamstring injury in Nigeria’s one-all draw against South Africa in a FIFA World Cup qualifier in Bloemfontein.
The Chelsea Academy graduate has since missed 10 matches across all competitions, including six Premier League matches, three Europa League matches, and a Carabao Cup fixture.
Ola Aina’s absence has seen the Tricky Trees struggle this season, with just two wins in 13 matches across all competitions.
