Nottingham Forest dealt fresh injury concern during Europa League quarter-final clash

Published on

Nottingham Forest were dealt a fresh injury concern during their Europa League quarter-final clash with Porto. Striker Chris Wood was forced off in the 16th minute of the second leg of the Reds’ last-eight tie at the City Ground . It came after he had been on the end of a horrible tackle by Jan Bednarek which resulted in the Porto man being sent off. Wood had received treatment after the challenge and initially carried on. However, he went to ground for a second time soon after and was replaced by Igor Jesus. JOIN US ON FACEBOOK!

Forest will hope it is a positive that Bednarek caught the front man on the opposite knee to the one he had surgery on. Wood walked off the pitch when he was replaced. This evening’s game marked only his third appearance after being out of action since October. The quarter-final tie was delicately poised going into tonight’s match after it had finished 1-1 in last week’s first leg in Portugal. Morgan Gibbs-White put the Reds 1-0 up on the night and 2-1 ahead on aggregate when he scored in the 12th minute.
