Nottingham Forest Suffer EPL Loss Without Nigeria’s Aina, Arsenal In Fresh Title Bl
By Victor Kanayo
Nottingham Forest suffered a setback in the English Premier League following the absence of Nigeria’s defender Ola Aina due to injury.
Aina will be out “for a while” with a calf problem.
Forest lost 1–2 to Aston Villa in one of Saturday’s EPL fixtures, with the injury situation posing a major challenge for the club, who are hoping to at least finish the current season in a top-four spot.
Villa’s win moved them to within one point of Chelsea in fourth place, while Forest remain in third despite the setback.

Arsenal’s faint Premier League title hopes suffered a potentially fatal blow as they were held to a draw at Everton.
The result means leaders Liverpool require only 11 points from their remaining eight games, starting with Fulham on Sunday, to guarantee themselves the title.
Everton now have only three games left to play at their famous Goodison Park home before their move to the new Bramley-Moore Dock ground next season.
