Anthony Elanga, Felipe, and Taiwo Awoniyi have returned to the Nottingham Forest training group while they continue to heal from their individual ailments.
Prior to Tuesday night’s match against Arsenal, head coach Nuno Espirito Santo included the trio in the lineup along with the rest of their Reds colleagues. About the possibility of any of them being involved in the fight against the Gunners, he remained evasive.
Due to a thigh problem, winger Elanga hasn’t played since the win over former team Manchester United last month. After groin surgery in November, striker Taiwo Awoniyi has been out of the field, although his anticipated return date is earlier than anticipated. Felipe, the center defender, has only made three appearances this season due to hamstring and knee issues.
Nuno declared, “The players who were out have joined the group.” “In the case of Taiwo, Anthony, and Felipe, we have chosen to have them around even if they are not fully recovered.
As a team, we made the decision to include them in the squad even if they aren’t quite there yet. They’ll have to make a decision with us, and we’ll have to make that decision first.
Taiwo is still recuperating and restoring his appropriate level of fitness. We made the choice to include them in the group. We chose to bring them in instead of waiting for them to be perfect, and then we will make a decision.
“Today, Felipe conducted one training session. Although he looks good, he’s not ready.
Anthony and Taiwo conducted two training sessions each. We made the choice to have them around and begin spending time with the boys.
Moreover, forward Divock Origi is still sidelined. The MLS is interested in the AC Milan loanee, and he is probably going to be one of the players out before the January transfer window shuts on Thursday.
“He continues receiving treatment,” Nuno declared. “We have no idea what the market will do in these final few days. We must wait and observe.
