Nottingham Forest manager Nuno Espírito Santo has revealed that Ola Aina played the AFCON 2023 final with injury.

Nuno disclosed this while speaking in his pre-match pressed ahead of this weekend’s game with Aston Villa.

Aina was one of the standout performer for the Super Eagles at the AFCON 2023.

But it was a final to forget for Aina who was not at his best as the Eagles lost 2-1 to hosts Côte d’Ivoire.

The right-back had a torrid time against Simon Adingra, who provided the assist for the winner scored by Sebastien Haller.

Despite his poor performance in the final, Aina was named in the Team of the Tournament alongside William Troost-Ekong and Ademola Lookman.
