Ola Aina has expressed excitement about returning to action after undergoing a successful surgery on Tuesday.
The 28-year-old defender sustained a hamstring injury during Nigeria’s 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier against South Africa last week and is expected to remain out until December.
He shared his gratitude on social media, appreciating his club, teammates, and fans for their unwavering 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,” Aina wrote on Instagram.
“I will be working hard everyday 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.”
So far this season, the full-back has featured in three league matches for Nottingham Forest.
