Nuno Tavares, the Arsenal loanee, has reemerged on the training grounds with Nottingham Forest after a recent injury setback. Nottingham Forest is scheduled to take on Liverpool this weekend, and their pre-match training footage unveiled Tavares’ return from injury.
The training session showcased Tavares actively participating in various drills, culminating in a remarkable volley, as depicted in the Twitter clip. The 23-year-old left-back had made three appearances for Nottingham Forest before sustaining an injury during a match against Manchester City, sidelining him for all of their October fixtures.
Manager Steve Cooper had previously confirmed that Tavares would not return until after the international break, and the defender remained unavailable when Forest faced Luton Town over the weekend. Nevertheless, his comeback is now within the realm of possibility as Nottingham Forest prepares to face Liverpool at Anfield.
It’s worth noting that although Tavares’ move to Forest began as a loan arrangement, there’s a substantial prospect of the transfer becoming permanent. Reports indicated that Forest is paying Arsenal a £1 million loan fee, with a £12 million option to purchase and an additional £3 million in potential add-ons.
While the obligation to buy is not automatic, it may become mandatory if specific conditions are met during the loan period. The likelihood of this occurrence will increase as long as Tavares avoids lengthy injury spells, making his swift return to the field a promising development.
