According to official news from Nottingham Forest, the team's defender Ainer suffered an injury on international match day.

Forest officials said that Aina suffered a hamstring injury in the World Cup qualifiers between Nigeria and South Africa in the national match day and will be absent for some time. Everyone in the club sent his most sincere wishes to Aina, wishing him a speedy recovery.

According to previous news from the Telegraph, Ola Ena will be absent for several months due to a hamstring injury, and Postkoglu may face the situation where he will not be able to use Ena until the end of the year.

Ener has played every minute of the Premier League so far this season, and is a key player in Nuno's coaching period last season. Aina's long absence means he has been excluded from the Premier League registration list submitted by Nottingham Forest. It is reported that due to Ener's injury, striker Avoniyi, who had previously lost the UEFA Cup roster, will be added to the domestic competition list.
