Nottingham Forest suffer new injury setback as Sam Surridge point made

The latest Nottingham Forest headlines on Tuesday, March 28.

Freak injury

Nottingham Forest have been handed another injury concern ahead of the crucial Premier League clash against Wolves, with Andre Ayew returning to the club from international duty with a knee problem.

The forward has been with the Ghana national team, but didn’t feature in Thursday’s Africa Cup of Nations qualifying win over Angola and has now returned to Forest.

The Ghana Football Association confirmed that the 33-year-old is back at the City Ground after sustaining a knee injury in unlikely fashion.

Surridge point made

Nottingham Forest have been dealt another injury worry ahead of this weekend's crunch clash with Wolves in the Premier League.

Andre Ayew is the latest player to pick up a knock, with the 33-year-old striker being added to a growing list amid fitness doubts over Chris Wood and Brennan Johnson, who have also been ruled out of international duty.

Reds fans have reacted to the latest injury blow with many calling for Sam Surridge's return to the team.

Decision time

Whichever division Nottingham Forest find themselves in next season, it is going to be an important summer window at the City Ground.

Depending on how the final weeks of this campaign pan out, the Reds will either be looking for key additions to help them push on in the Premier League or facing an overhaul ready for a promotion tilt in the Championship. So, what happens over the course of their remaining 11 games this term will have a significant impact on several of those players currently under contract.

Forest have decisions to make over the group who will see their deals come to an end this summer. But they will also need to take into consideration those players whose contracts are due to expire in 2024.

Reds' run-in rated

Forest face a tough end to the season. And just how tough has now been revealed after the Reds remaining Premier League fixtures were analysed.

Steve Cooper's side, currently in the midst of a six-game run since their last Premier League victory, are just two points above the bottom three relegation places with 11 fixtures left to play.

Amongst those remaining games are tough fixtures against Manchester United, Liverpool and Arsenal, as well as matches against relegation rivals Crystal Palace and Southampton.
