Chris Wood injury latest: Nottingham Forest manager Nuno Espirito Santo issues update | OneFootball

The striker has had further scans on his hip

Nottingham Forest striker Chris Wood has been ruled out of Saturday's FA Cup quarter-final against Brighton.

Wood reportedly on Tuesday underwent scans on his right hip to determine the severity of the injury before flying back to his club.

"That's where the pain is at the moment," Wood told reporters following the injury. "I felt it on that side so I'll get it checked over and hopefully it is nothing too major and hopefully it's just impact."

Wood has undergone a further scan now back with Forest and, when asked for an update, Nuno Espírito Santo told reporters on Thursday: "He went for a scan today. We are still waiting. He has been to a specialist for a scan. We will wait on the information and see.

"He will not be available for this game. He felt a kick really hard on his hip so there is pain there. We have to wait."

Nuno expressed frustration at his injury woes, suggesting he may have further injuries in his squad to juggle.

He added: "Every time there is an international break we have to assess. Many of them just arrived today.

“We are still waiting on Ramon Sosa tomorrow and we will assess all of them."
