Chris Wood is the most recent player to sustain an injury ahead of Nottingham Forest’s FA Cup match against Bristol City, according to the most recent injury news from NottinghamshireLive.
Nottingham Forest takes on Bristol City at the City Ground tonight at 7:45 p.m. with the goal of securing a spot in the FA Cup fifth round.
In the FA Cup, the teams will play again in the fourth round after their goalless stalemate at Ashton Gate last month. In the following round, the victors will host Manchester United.
Chris Wood, who suffered a hamstring injury during last week’s 2-1 loss to Arsenal, will not be playing for Forest. The Australian was forced to leave the game at halftime, missing the Reds’ Sunday trip to Bournemouth where they rallied for a 1-1 draw.
Nuno Espirito Santo revealed that Wood might miss up to eight weeks of action, which would leave the Portuguese manager without many options for forward play. Chris is regrettably unavailable. He’s not back in and won’t be for a while. Let’s see, maybe it won’t be too lengthy,” Nuno remarked.
“The injury is to the hamstrings. We performed a scan since he was uncomfortable, and it revealed a small damage. We find it frustrating that this occurs. He was questionable for the game on Sunday and will be sidelined for some time.”
Another doubt is Callum Hudson-Odoi, who is still receiving treatment after being challenged by Philip Billing, a midfielder for Bournemouth. The man from Cherries got a straight red card.
“Callum is undergoing therapy. Nuno continued, “He’s still in a lot of pain, but he’s receiving treatment, so we’ll see.” “More than anybody else, we are aware of our issues, but we are also capable of solving them. This is how we see it.
In other news, Ryan Yates and Nico Dominguez, two midfielders who have already received two yellow cards in the league, are suspended. Matz Sels, Gio Reyna, and Rodrigo Ribeiro—all recent additions—cannot play because they were signed prior to the first game versus the Robins.
