Hudson-Odoi to miss rest of season after surgery

Football

Nottingham Forest winger Callum Hudson-Odoi will not play again this term following an operation on a leg injury.

Nottingham Forest confirmed on Tuesday that Callum Hudson-Odoi has undergone surgery on a leg injury. The 25-year-old winger will miss the remainder of the Premier League campaign while he recovers from the procedure. Forest officials stated the operation was successful but did not provide a specific timeline for his return to training.

The former Chelsea player sustained the injury during recent first-team action, according to Sky Sports. Hudson-Odoi joined the club in September 2023 and has been a regular figure in the starting line-up this season. His absence leaves manager Nuno Espirito Santo with fewer options in attack for the final matches of the 2025-26 schedule.

Forest currently sits in the bottom half of the table and faces a difficult run-in as the squad attempts to secure its top-flight status. Medical staff will monitor the forward throughout the summer months to determine if he can participate in pre-season fixtures, per reports from The Guardian. The club has not yet confirmed any further injury setbacks within the squad.
