Overview
- Nottingham Forest, which confirmed Tuesday that Callum Hudson-Odoi had right quadriceps surgery, said he will begin rehab with a target of returning to full training in pre-season.
- The winger will miss the final five Premier League games and the Europa League semi-final against Aston Villa, a major loss after 43 appearances and six goals this season.
- Hudson-Odoi was hurt in the Europa League quarter-final at Porto, came on at half-time, lasted about 25 minutes, and left in the 72nd minute while limping.
- Forest beat Burnley 4-1 on Sunday to move five points clear of the drop with five to play, and Omari Hutchinson and Dilane Bakwa started on the flanks as the reshuffle began.
- Centre-back Murillo’s condition is still being assessed after issues in the Porto tie and the Burnley game, and manager Vítor Pereira said the player believes it is not serious.
