Ola Aina will not be part of Nottingham Forest squad when they visit Arsenal for Saturday’s game after picking up an injury in the Super Eagles World Cup qualifiers clash against Bafana Bafana.
But Forest new coach Ange Postecoglou though would love to have Aina for his first game, he said they will cope well against Arsenal.
“We have a clean bill of health apart from Aina. He had a problem with the national team,’ Postecoglou said in his first press conference when asked about injuries ahead of their clash with Arsenal.
“The rest of the boys today is the first fay I’ve had my eyes on them and they’re all fine. Zinchenko is the only one who isn’t fine.’
Nicolo Savona is expected to deputise at left-back having signed from Juventus in the summer.
Postecoglou did not win any of his four games against Arsenal while in charge of Tottenham and is expecting another tough game after the Gunners’ summer spending.
