Ahead of Nottingham Forest's Premier League match against Wolves at Molineux on Thursday, manager Sean Dyche provided a comprehensive update on the team's injury situation. Several key players have been sidelined with injuries in recent weeks, and Murillo, who was substituted early due to injury in the midweek Europa League victory against Malmö, will miss Sunday's game against Brighton.
Over the past few weeks, Nottingham Forest have had at least nine first-team players sidelined with injuries ranging from minor and short-term to long-term. Ahead of the team's midweek Premier League match against Wolves, Sean Dyche stated that several players have gradually returned to action, and he expects more to resume play in the coming weeks.
Sean Dyche said: "Dylan Bakwa has just returned to full training, and Zinchenko has also returned to the team, but today is only his first day back in training, so they still need to get used to the daily training rhythm. After an injury, players cannot train at the same intensity as during the full recovery phase until they are truly back in the first team. So they still need a certain amount of training, but it is encouraging that they have been able to return to the field."
“Aura Aina has returned to the field, but as we all know, his recovery is a long process. Although he continues to make progress, he is still some distance from a full recovery. Douglas Luis’s recovery is slower than his and he is not yet fully recovered, as is Taiwo Awoniyi.”
“Murillo encountered some unexpected issues during the match against Malmö, and we opted to substitute him out of caution. Although the situation wasn't entirely clear at the time, it appeared quite serious. We don't want any new injuries during this phase when the team is working hard to keep all players healthy. Especially hamstring problems, which usually don't just last a few days once they occur.”
"When the injury list grows long, all sorts of problems arise. The team must find ways to arrange players' playing time reasonably and ensure they get enough on-field training time to maintain good physical condition and avoid re-injury. We are working in this direction, and there are some positive signs as players gradually return to the field and resume full training."
