Nuno Tavares’ latest injury has caused him to miss time for Nottingham Forest, and a report has now revealed how long he will be out.
This is from The Telegraph.
What has been mentioned regarding Tavares, and what is the duration that Forest will be without him? Let’s investigate more closely.
Report shares how long Nuno Tavares will be missing for Forest
This isn’t great, because Harry Toffolo is the only available left-back because Ola Aina is injured.
Ian Wright said that Nuno Espirito Santo’s decision to go with Moussa Niakhate in that role on Saturday was illogical.
According to The Telegraph, Tavares will likely miss four weeks of action for Forest following his thigh injury.
After a challenging beginning to his time on loan from Arsenal, Tavares was just beginning to settle into his new role at Forest.
Under Steve Cooper, he was barely making the matchday team, but Espirito Santo recognised something special in him.
Before playing against Aston Villa on Saturday, the defender had started four of the previous five Premier League matches.
He has made 11 appearances overall, but he must now recover from his most recent injury by sitting on the sidelines.
Tavares running of time to prove himself at the City Ground
It’s difficult to see Tavares playing for Forest next season, no matter what league they end up in.
If Espirito Santo stays in the Premier League, they will most likely be considering a left-back because they don’t have many options.
Tavares made an intriguing transfer from Arsenal to the club, having scored six goals for Marseille the previous campaign.
But in the end, he hasn’t really proven himself, so this is definitely a case of taking two steps back.
Tavares is expected to make a comeback for the Forest match, and it will be fascinating to watch what transpires when he does.
