“Out for a while” The 24-year-old Nottingham Forest player’s injury has been confirmed by Nuno.

Nuno Tavares, a Portuguese defender, has caused another injury blow to Nottingham Forest.

Head coach Nuno Espirito Santo confirmed the injury in an interview with Nottinghamshire Live.
What has the Forest manager stated on Tavares now that he was not involved in yesterday’s match against Aston Villa? Let’s investigate more closely.

What Nuno Espirito Santo has said about Forest defender Nuno Tavares

At Forest, it never rains—rather, it pours—and just when Tavares was starting to settle in, he suffered a setback.

Tavares received recognition from Shay Given for his efforts last week as Forest secured a significant victory over West Ham, winning 2-0.

It’s not good news for the 24-year-old on loan from Arsenal that he had to sit out this past weekend.
“Tavares is injured,” Espirito Santo said to Nottinghamshire Live. He suffered an injury during the West Ham encounter and will be sidelined for some time.

Forest dealt another injury blow

With a sizeable squad to choose from Espirito Santo should have enough to cover the loss of Tavares at Forest.

However, the frustrating part of this is that Tavares was looking to start showcasing exactly what he’s capable of.

Now, he’s going to be out for a little while and Forest will have to weigh up some other options.

Yesterday, Moussa Niakhate played there but in our view, that’s not an option that should be considered a long-term option.

Harry Toffolo is an option to consider to replace Tavares for Forest and before Espirito Santo came to the club, he was the number one option.

Another player who can feature there is Ola Aina and it will now be interesting to see who Espirito Santo trusts to replace Tavares.
