Nicolas Dominguez Faces Up to Eight Weeks Out After Injury Setback

Nottingham Forest midfielder Nicolas Dominguez could be sidelined for up to eight weeks after suffering a setback on his return to training, manager Oliver Glasner said Thursday.

Dominguez had rejoined the squad’s sessions before sustaining a re-injury, Glasner said in pre-match comments reported by BBC Sport and Hayters TV. Forest hosts Manchester City in the Premier League on Saturday.

Glasner had a more encouraging update on Igor Jesus, saying the striker had trained throughout the week without an adverse reaction after a calf problem.

Nicolo Savona also resumed team training following a lengthy absence. Glasner said Forest had managed the defender’s workload and expected him to play some minutes in a friendly during the international break.
