'He is in a lot of pain': Nuno says Nottingham Forest player got injured against Arsenal

Today at 01:52 PM

Nottingham Forest suffered a 3-0 defeat at the hands of Arsenal in the Premier League on Saturday.

Arsenal were favourites to win against Forest, but it was still a bad day at the office for Nuno's side.

The Gunners were in control of the match from start to finish. Arsenal scored after 15 minutes and added two more goals to their tally in the second half.

To make matters worse, Nuno has said that one of his Forest players got injured in the match against Arsenal.

Nottingham Forest winger Anthony Elanga injured vs Arsenal

Anthony Elanga struggled against Arsenal and came off at half-time. Forest manager Nuno has revealed that the 22-year-old Sweden international winger was in a lot of pain and could not come out for the second half.

The former Manchester United winger got treatment towards the end of the first half and continued to play until the break.

NottinghamshireLive quotes Nuno as saying about Elanga: "He is in a lot of pain. We have to wait for the scan. I don't know what it is exactly but he was not able to continue."

Positive update on Morgan Gibbs-White and Elliot Anderson

Forest will return to action next Saturday afternoon when they take on Ipswich Town at the City Ground in the Premier League.

Ipswich are second from bottom in the table, and Forest will head into the match as heavy favourites.

Nuno has said that both Morgan Gibbs-White and Elliot Anderson could be back for the game against the Tractor Boys.

Gibbs-White is trying to fully overcome an ankle injury, while fellow midfielder Anderson has been struggling with a foot problem in recent times.

Nuno said: "Morgan had a nasty injury against Chelsea. Before the international break, him and Elliot made a big effort to help the team and they did that.

"Both of them were not in the right condition to help the team this week. Hopefully for the next one."
