Nottingham Forest defender Ola Aina will be sidelined for three months with a hamstring injury suffered while on international duty for Nigeria. The right-back limped off during Nigeria's 1-1 World Cup qualifying draw with South Africa and scans confirmed the severity of the injury. Aina will be removed from Forest's Premier League squad but can be re-registered after the winter transfer window. New manager Ange Postecoglou had confirmed the 28-year-old was being assessed and will now be without him until the new year. Striker Taiwo Awoniyi is expected to be included in the squad. Forest travel to Arsenal on Saturday for Postecoglou's first game following Nuno Espírito Santo's recent sacking. Postecoglou described Arsenal as strengthened and a significant challenge.
