After the match, Aina was seen leaving the stadium on crutches, indicating that he may face a period on the sidelines. Speaking to the media, Santo expressed concern over the injury, emphasizing the need for a thorough medical assessment.

“We need to assess the situation,” Santo said. “It’s always concerning when a player picks up an injury without any contact. We’re unsure about the exact nature of the issue, but the scan will provide more clarity.”

Aina has been a key figure in Nottingham Forest’s defensive lineup this season, scoring two goals in 30 league appearances. His consistent presence on the pitch has significantly contributed to the team’s performance throughout the campaign.

Victory Against Manchester United
While addressing Aina’s injury, Santo also reflected on Nottingham Forest’s impressive victory over Manchester United. He praised the team’s resilience, hard work, and collective spirit, which proved instrumental in securing the win.

One standout moment was provided by winger Anthony Elanga, who scored the decisive goal after an exceptional solo run, covering 85 meters in just nine seconds. Santo lauded Elanga’s remarkable pace and skill, noting that his effort was pivotal to the team’s success.

“He’s a special player, bringing incredible speed to the team,” Santo commented. “His ability to create chances from nothing is invaluable, and we are thrilled with his contribution.”

As the team awaits the results of Aina’s medical scan, Nottingham Forest remains optimistic while celebrating their hard-fought victory over a formidable opponent.
