Nigerian Star Ola Aina Sidelined from Europa League Squad Due to Injury Rule Change

Nigerian star Ola Aina misses out on Nottingham Forest's Europa League squad due to a hamstring injury sustained during international duty with the Super Eagles. UEFA's new regulations require clubs to replace injured players who will be out for at least 60 days.

Aina's absence from the squad is a result of this rule change, impacting Forest's European campaign. The defender underwent surgery in December, further prolonging his recovery period.

Nottingham Forest had to adjust their squad following the UEFA directive, affecting Aina's participation in the Europa League under new coach Ange Postecoglou.
