Nottingham Forest are set to face Tottenham Hotspur on Monday, April 21, 2025, at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
However, they will be without two key players for this Premier League clash: Taiwo Awoniyi and Willy Boly.
Taiwo Awoniyi
The Nigerian striker remains sidelined due to a serious groin injury. Head coach Steve Cooper has confirmed that Awoniyi is unlikely to return before the end of the season. His absence is a significant blow to Forest’s attacking options, as he has been a pivotal figure in their forward line.
Willy Boly
Boly is also unavailable for the upcoming match due to a muscle injury. The defender is expected to be out for several weeks, which adds to Forest’s defensive concerns.
Other Injury Concerns
In addition to Awoniyi and Boly, Forest have several other players recovering from injuries. Moussa Niakhate and Scott McKenna are both dealing with thigh injuries and are not expected to feature in the near future. Dean Henderson, the first-choice goalkeeper, is also recovering from a setback and is out for over a month.
Despite these challenges, Forest will look to other players to step up and deliver a strong performance against Spurs. The match is crucial for both teams as they aim to secure vital points in the Premier League standings.
