Nigeria international Ola Aina has expressed optimism about his return to action following a successful surgery on Tuesday, September 16, 2025.
The Nottingham Forest full-back suffered a hamstring injury during the Super Eagles’ 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier against South Africa last week. He is now expected to be sidelined until December.
Taking to social media, Aina thanked his club, teammates, and fans for their support.
“Surgery went really well and recovery is going smoothly. Looking forward to WHAM. A massive thank you to the club, @officialnffc, my teammates, and all the fans for the incredible support over the past few days, it meant a lot,” he wrote.
He added, “I will be working hard every day to get back out there as soon as possible and can’t wait to get back on the pitch at the City Ground. See you soon.”
Aina has made three league appearances for Nottingham Forest this season.
