Impact Savona remains unavailable for Nottingham Forest after a knee injury and several setbacks have delayed his return to competitive action. The full-back has been sidelined since last season and continues to follow a cautious rehabilitation program.

Impact Savona continues to work his way back from the knee injury that has kept him out since last season, with multiple setbacks forcing Forest to take a cautious approach to his rehabilitation. The full-back has responded well to his latest increase in workload, but he is not yet ready to return against Aston Villa and remains without a firm comeback date.

Impact Savona's return to work on the grass represents a positive step after the setback delayed his recovery, but Saturday will come too soon for the full-back. Forest are hoping he can resume full team training during or shortly after the international break, which would put him closer to a competitive return. Once fit, Savona could also provide additional depth at center-back, with manager Oliver Glasner highlighting his physicality and ability to operate centrally despite primarily being a right-back.

Impact Savona missed the end of last season after undergoing knee surgery in March, and this latest setback pushes his return back further than initially hoped, meaning he'll continue working in the gym before returning to grass. Ola Aina is expected to start at right wing back in his absence, with Savona expected to need a couple more weeks before he's back in full training with the group.

Impact Savona missed Saturday's 2-0 preseason win over Notts County alongside Callum Hudson-Odoi and Murillo as all three continue their respective recoveries. Coach Oliver Glasner grouped him with Murillo in terms of timeline, noting both are progressing with their rehab but will need more time compared to Hudson-Odoi, who is expected to return quickest of the group. The coach stressed the importance of a careful approach given the nature of the injuries involved. Savona is expected to continue building up his workload as Nottingham Forest's preseason progresses.

JULY 22 • ROTOWIRE

Surgery successful Savona (knee) has had a successful surgery and will start recovery in the coming weeks, according to his club.

Impact Savona was deemed to be set for surgery after Monday's presser, and it has already taken place, with the defender appearing to have come through the surgery with no issues. He will now start a decent road of recovey that will take a few months, leaving a return this season a major doubt. He will hope to see the field again, but is unlikely to push too hard and have another derailment in his young career, still only 22.

Impact Savona has been out for around a month as he deals with a knee injury and is now set to miss further time, receiving surgery that could end his season. That said, it will be dependent on his training after the matter, with the medical team deciding when he can go again. They have already been without him for some time, so this isn't a major loss, although it is a huge gap in the defender's development

Set for assessment after weekend Savona (knee) is not dealing with a serious injury but will remain out another match, according to manager Sean Dyche, per Sarah Clapson of the Nottingham Post. "He is in the awkwa...

Impact Savona will miss a third straight game with a knee injury and is set for some further testing in the next few days to decide his levels of fitness. This would decide if the defender could then make the team for their next contest against Wolves on Feb. 11, needing some time to make the decision. The major concern is that if he is not feeling better after the weekend, the club could have to look at some further rehabilitation, possibly facing a further absence.

Out Sunday, timeline unclear Savona (knee) won't be involved in Sunday's contest against Crystal Palace, but there's no clarity on how long he'll be sidelined for, according to manager Sean Dyche. "It's just a...

Impact Savona wasn't involved in the 4-0 win over Ferencvaros in the UEFA Europa League on Thursday, and the Italian full-back won't be an option Sunday as well. Savona's absence won't affect many fantasy decisions, however, as he's been relegated to a backup role at right-back now that Ola Aina is back to full fitness.

JANUARY 30 • ROTOWIRE

Unlikely for Thursday Savona is unlikely for Thursday's match against Ferencvarosi due to a knee injury, according to manager Sean Dyche, per Sarah Clapson of the Nottingham Post. "Sav has got a knee si...

Impact Savona is set for further testing in the coming hours after he suffered an injury, with the defender still needing to check on the issues further. However, he does remain unlikely, possibly facing weeks out if he were to need a break. He has started in 13 of his 18 appearances this season, although it was while Ola Aina was out, with Aina to continue starting at right-back if Savona misses time.
