Nuno Espirito Santo issues worrying injury update on Nottingham Forest star Callum Hudson-Odoi following 1-1 draw with Crystal Palace
Callum Hudson-Odoi has been one of Nottingham Forest’s standout performers this season.
The former Chelsea winger has really come into his own this season, registering eight goal involvements in 29 Premier League appearances
In fact, such form has alerted a number of clubs in Serie A, with Napoli making Hudson-Odoi their top transfer target.
Unfortunately for Nottingham Forest, Hudson-Odoi had to come off against Brentford after sustaining an injury.
The 24-year-old didn’t make the squad for Crystal Palace on Monday night either, and now Nuno Espirito Santo has provided an update on his condition.

Hudson-Odoi wasn’t named in the Nottingham Forest squad against Crystal Palace but he still attended the game.
In fact, the former England international was pictured in the away end, amongst the Forest supporters.
Speaking ahead of kick-off, Nuno confirmed that Hudson-Odoi is sidelined with a hamstring injury, and it doesn’t sound good.
“He has a hamstring problem, he’s going to be out, we’re not sure how long, but not for this game and the next.”
Will Callum Hudson-Odoi stay at Nottingham Forest?
Hudson-Odoi’s future has been thrown into doubt over the last few weeks, with his contract due to expire next year.
There has so far been no progression on contract talks as the winger is keen to assess his options at the end of the season, according to Sky Sports journalist Dharmesh Sheth.
“Roma, Napoli and 2 PL clubs in interested in Nottingham Forest star Callum Hudson-Odoi,” Sheth wrote on X.
“Contract up next summer. Forest held initial talks over a new deal. Hudson-Odoi focused on the remainder of the season and will assess options in the summer.”
Perhaps Hudson-Odoi’s decision depends on whether Forest qualify for the Champions League.
