EPL: Hudson-Odoi undergoes surgery, out until pre-season - Official

Nottingham Forest faces a significant setback as winger Callum Hudson-Odoi has been ruled out for the remainder of the season following surgery on a leg injury. The dynamic player sustained the injury during the crucial Europa League quarter-final second-leg victory over Porto, a match that highlighted his importance to Vítor Pereira’s side.

The successful surgery, confirmed by the club on Tuesday, means Hudson-Odoi will not be fit for action until pre-season. This news comes at a critical juncture for Forest, who are battling to secure their Premier League status while also preparing for a Europa League semi-final clash against Aston Villa. His absence removes a key attacking threat at a decisive point in both their domestic and continental campaigns.

Hudson-Odoi himself took to Instagram to share his thoughts on the injury, expressing his disappointment but also his resolve. "Surgery was successful, but definitely not the way I wanted to end the season. But with God’s timing and plan, hopefully I’ll be back stronger and better than before," he stated. His determination is a beacon for the team as they navigate a demanding run-in, facing tough opponents in the league and a significant European tie.
