Steve Cooper confirms devastating injury blow to 22-year-old Nottingham Forest star
Steve Cooper has confirmed that Nottingham Forest winger Callum Hudson-Odoi is set to be out for at least six weeks.
The 22-year-old, who joined the Reds this summer, missed the 2-2 draw with Luton Town after picking up an injury during the international break.
Since his arrival from Chelsea, Hudson-Odoi has been influential for Cooper’s side – scoring a brilliant goal on his debut against Burnley.
However, after his positive start, he is now set for a spell on the sidelines.
Steve Cooper on Hudson-Odoi’s injury
Speaking to BBC Radio Nottingham after the game, the Reds boss confirmed that the 22-year-old would be missing for around six weeks.
“Callum [Hudson-Odoi] will be missing for at least six weeks, with Divock [Origi] missing for a couple of weeks less and unfortunately Taiwo [Awoniyi] isn’t back with us yet.
“It’s been a bad week injury-wise for us, with no natural attacking options to bring off the bench.”
