Aina and Awoniyi to upset Iraola’s party

Nottingham Forest welcome Bournemouth to the City Ground for the final Premier League game of the 2027/2027 season, Afrik Foot reports.

The game carries different weight for both sides. For the home crowd, not much is at stake, but the opportunity to end a topsy-turvy season on a high after escaping relegation and reaching the semi-final of the UEFA Europa League before falling short to the eventual winners, Aston Villa.

Bournemouth, meanwhile, are eyeing a rare UEFA Champions League spot to send Andoni Iraola off in style.

The Spanish manager is set to draw curtains on his three-year stay at the Vitality Stadium, having changed the fortunes of the club.

For Nottingham Forest, Ola Aina returned to training, but couldn’t pass the fitness test to be included in the matchday squad.
