Uncertain for season finale
Aina (undisclosed) began working on the pitch Thursday and is uncertain for Sunday's season finale against Bournemouth, according to coach Vitor Pereira, per Jake Netting of VAVEL. "Aina started today working on the pitch. We are in a moment where we can't take risks. We want to win, but it is not a final or something."
Analysis: Aina's return to pitch work is an encouraging development after missing four consecutive matches with the undisclosed issue. The full-back has been a regular starter when fit, featuring in the starting lineup in each of his 18 Premier League appearances this season, making his potential return a notable boost for Nottingham Forest heading into the final fixture of the campaign. No further details have been provided on the nature of the issue, leaving his availability for Sunday dependent on how he responds to training over the coming days.
Won't play Sunday
Aina (undisclosed) is out for Sunday's game against Manchester United, according to manager Vitor Pereira. "That's all. Murillo out, Aina out."
Analysis: Aina is set to miss a fourth consecutive contest, and it remains to be seen whether he'll return to action before the season finale at home against Bournemouth on Sunday, May 24. Aina has been a regular starter when healthy, featuring in the XI in each of his 18 EPL appearances. With Aina out, Neco Williams and Luca Netz will handle the full-back roles Sunday at Old Trafford.
