Nottingham Forest winger Joe Lolley simply can’t catch himself a break at the moment.
The 28-year-old was just getting into his stride yesterday when a cruel injury struck.
Lolley grabbed his hamstring in the 34th minute and immediately signaled to the bench for assistance.
He was replaced by Anthony Knockaert and left the turf in considerable pain.
An Instagram post afterwards might give Forest fans some encouragement, however.
He took to social media to provide an update and received some kind words from Filip Krovinovic.
Forest fans will certainly hope that Lolley’s injury isn’t too bad.
Although he’s not enjoyed a standout campaign he does boast match-winning qualities when at his very best.
Lolley has struggled with compartment syndrome in his shin and that has hampered his progress,
Prior to his departure yesterday he proved a constant menace and narrowly put a right-footed effort wide.
Forest do still have Knockaert, Sammy Ameobi and Alex Mighten within their ranks but Lolley will be a loss.
The ex-Huddersfield man has scored 26 goals and registered 26 assists during his time on Trentside.
He has enjoyed some memorable days in the Garibaldi and Forest will hope to see him back on the pitch as soon as possible.
Krovinovic’s comment will echo the sentiments of the entire dressing room and showcases how highly his teammates value Lolley.
