Anthony Elanga

Nottingham Forest winger Anthony Elanga (22) is facing a fresh injury concern after being forced off at half-time during the club’s recent 2-1 defeat to Aston Villa on 5 April. Head coach Nuno Espírito Santo confirmed that the Swedish international experienced discomfort during the match, prompting a cautious early withdrawal.

“Anthony was not comfortable, he felt something,” Nuno explained post-match. “Unfortunately we might have to scan another player, but hopefully it is nothing. We will know more in a couple of days.” (Source: Paul Taylor, The Athletic)

The exact nature and severity of Elanga’s issue remain unclear, but early indications suggest the club will take no risks until a full assessment is completed. The discomfort may point to a muscle-related concern, though the upcoming scan will offer more definitive insight.
