Nottingham Forest have been dealt another injury worry ahead of this weekend's crunch clash with Wolves in the Premier League.
Andre Ayew is the latest player to pick up an injury with the 33-year-old being added to a growing list amid fitness doubts over Chris Wood and Brennan Johnson who have both also been ruled out of international duty.
Ayew arrived at the City Ground as Forest's most recent signing in February after joining the club as a free agent. But he could now be set for a spell on the sidelines with no timeframe yet on his return.

“Ghana captain Andre Ayew has been ruled out of the Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Angola after sustaining a knee injury on Thursday,” a statement read. “Ayew slipped on his way to the dressing room and hurt his knee as findings of the MRI scan have meant that he has to return to his club for further treatment.”
Here's how Reds fans have reacted to the latest injury blow with many calling for Sam Surridge's return to the team...
