The manager of Nottingham Forest provides a somber injury update: “The player has specialists and surgeons to see.”
Lewis O’Brien’s injury status is updated by Middlesbrough manager Michael Carrick in the most recent Nottingham Forest news from NottinghamshireLive.
Lewis O’Brien of Nottingham Forest has received an injury update from Michael Carrick.
While representing Middlesbrough in the Championship match against Watford, O’Brien sustained an ankle injury. Carrick, who signed the 24-year-old midfielder on a season-long loan from Boro this summer, instantly acknowledged that he was “fearing the worst” for him.
To be honest, it doesn’t seem good, stated Carrick following the Watford game. “With Lewis, we anticipate the worst. We’ll have to wait for the results of the scans, but it may keep him from working for a while.
He received a blow to the bottom of his shin bone and ankle. Although it doesn’t now appear to be too awful, fingers are crossed that it won’t turn out to be as bad as anticipated.
After Middlesbrough’s league victory against Cardiff City on Tuesday night, Carrick provided an update on O’Brien.
He said, “He won’t be coming back any time soon.” If not longer, it will be a good several weeks. We’ll keep you updated because he has appointments with experts and surgeons.
O’Brien went to Boro keen to put his career back on track after a trying seven months, so this is a major setback for him. O’Brien had a transfer from Forest to Blackburn Rovers fall through in January, and after missing out on the
Reds’ Premier League roster for the last few months of the season, he was left in a limbo until he transferred to DC United to play football before going back to Forest in the summer.
