Ola Aina optimistic Nottingham Forest will escape relegation at the end of the season
Versatile Super Eagles defender Ola Aina is confident that his English Premier League (EPL) club, Nottingham Forest, will escape relegation at the end of the season.
Nottingham Forest, led by Nuno Espirito Santo, is battling to avoid relegation for the second consecutive season, as they currently sit in 17th place in the EPL table.
However, Aina is confident that his team will beat the drop despite having tough games against Wolverhampton Wanderers, Chelsea, and Manchester City coming up.
“I don’t see the team going down,” Aina told the Nottingham Post in an interview.
“We’ve had a difficult season by our standards, but I very much expect us to improve in our next game.
“More importantly, it’s about playing well and trying to get a result to stay up.”
In a related development, Ola Aina has taken to social media to reveal a dental mishap resulting from a collision with Tottenham forward Son Heung-min in the last game he played.
Aina reportedly had a dental injury that needed to be fixed by a doctor to straighten her crooked tooth after the game against Tottenham played over the weekend.
With a lighthearted remark, the Super Eagles full-back called out Son and requested payment for the necessary dental work, asking Son, ‘‘Where do I send the invoice to when I get this fixed?”
