The Great Nottingham Forest Injury Crisis

And that will complete the set, all too predictable unfortunately.

I don't know what you mean by any of that Omar, but knocks are an inevitability of playing football. If the injury is worse than that it's simply bad luck for the lad rather than anything you might be implying, unless of course it's just you're general negativity?

I'm just implying that both Niakhate and Awoniyi are so injury-prone that it's unfortunate easy to predict that they'll spend a lengthy time out. Unfortunately Taiwo has already proven it and now Moussa looked to be struggling.

Do you regard someone who doesn't think twice about risking injury by putting a foot in, as Niakhate did yesterday, as "injury prone"?
I don't.

He's had a couple hamstring injuries during his time with us and Mainz, Coronavirus and dislocated his elbow in pre-season.
I'm not a physiotherapist but I don't think they are all linked. Footballers get injured, it's a relentless sport, especially with him playing for Senegal now as well.

From Newcastle until Crystal Palace he played 12 games in a row and had 90 minutes in 11 of those in the run to the end of the season. He's been on the bench a few times this season and he missed Palace but aside from that one game he's been available for every game so this idea he's injury prone is silly to be honest.

Now as for Taiwo, he's had two groin injuries with us. The first one kept him out from January until April. I don't know if it's the same side but by contrast, that may prove to be an issue going forward with him because as you'd imagine, footballers use their legs more than anything.

Any update on the AFCON injuries?
Personally I'm wondering if there might be a contract extension trigger based upon number of games played for Boly and Aina and the club are holding off on them until the picture going forward for us is clearer.

I believe both have played around 15 games each so maybe 16 is the trigger?

Boly would have played (or at least been on the bench) in the final had there not have been an issue.

Is it just me that's assumed they've been given some leave after AFCON and the club is being coy about it to wrong-foot opposition?

It's extremely unlikely all three picked up injuries after the final.
