Nottinghamshire, Jan 28: East England football club Nottingham Forest has suffered a big blow in the ongoing Premier League 2026, as their goalkeeper, John Victor, has been ruled out of the whole season due to a knee injury.
Victor has been out of the team for the past three weeks due to a major injury that he suffered during the match against Aston Villa at the start of the year.
His return was not expected soon, and now the club sources have confirmed to the BBC that the star player will miss the whole season.
Victor was forced off the pitch in the second half at Villa Park after landing awkwardly while conceding Aston Villa’s third goal to midfielder John McGinn.Manager Sean Dyche acknowledged the severity of the setback at the time, saying Victor would be sidelined for a little bit following a minor operation, though the club has now confirmed the injury will keep him out through the rest of the campaign.
Victor joined Forest from Botafogo in the summer and has made nine appearances so far for the English club.
