Latest Nottingham Forest news as Steve Cooper's Reds prepare for Premier League clash with Aston Villa
Defender Ola Aina is confident Nottingham Forest can turn a corner as they aim to end their winless run.
Head coach Steve Cooper has repeatedly stressed it will take time for his new-look team to gel following another squad overhaul in the summer. And Aina believes there are positives to build on as Forest prepare to host Aston Villa this weekend. READ MORE: Forest sent blunt 'basic errors' message after Liverpool and Luton gifts
Aina made his first start since recovering from injury at Anfield, having come off the bench against Luton Town a week earlier. He had made a fine start to life at the City Ground since joining as a free agent in the summer, until a muscle problem sidelined him for a month. The visitors’ cause was not helped by a lack of attacking options. They were forced to field a starting XI which did not include a recognised striker due to Chris Wood suffering a hamstring injury a few days before the match. Taiwo Awoniyi was only fit enough for a spot among the substitutes as he made his return from a groin problem, while Divock Origi and Callum Hudson-Odoi are both out of action.
