Nevertheless, it is not supposed to be a serious shock, and Nuno suggested that the defender of the present would always be back on April 12 for the game against Everton.

The Portuguese said: “When a calf injury is always difficult, we have to give it time. We do not have a certain time schedule, it is about the ability to regain it.

“Some players take longer, other less. We will evaluate it. It will definitely be out for the villa and it will be a doubt for Everton. We will evaluate it. I will be positive that we will see it again (before the end of the season).

“He has scanned and it’s going out for a while. It’s a big blow. We will lose his quality, his talent and routines with his fellow players. We will miss it.”

“It will go out, we’ll miss it”

A full back forest short

Forrest now has a full back with a villa with Alex Moreno, inappropriate to face her parent club and Eric Morrera.

“(Moreno) is not available to play against the villa,” Nuno added. “We have to find other solutions. When he (in front of the United) he performed well. But he can’t play against the villa.

“Moreera wounded with Germany’s under -19 national team. Now he has been out for two or three weeks. He is now returning to the group with personal sessions. For this game, he will also be very tight for him.

“With Ola Out, we will try to find solutions to our problems. Ola’s absence is a big and we will miss it but we have to find solutions.

“Our training sessions are very lighter in terms of load. We will see tomorrow and try to find a compromise.”
