da premier bet: [ad_pod ]Forgotten Nottingham Forest attacker Hillal Soudani tweeted a video of him doing keep-ups with a rugby ball on Wednesday as the 31-year-old appears to be edging closer to a return to first-team action, and he is desperately needed right now.
On the chalkboard
Well, the Reds signed the Algeria international for an undisclosed fee from Dinamo Zagreb during the summer, but he has only made eight appearances since having suffered separate knee and leg injuries, with DZ Football reporting last month that he is expected to be out for the rest of the season.
The African’s last appearance for the east Midlands outfit came against Burton Albion at the end of October, but despite only playing 145 minutes of Championship football to date he still has two goals to his name.
Soudani also tweeted at the end of last month that he would be “back soon”, and his latest post will give some hope that he could still appear for them again before the campaign comes to a close.
A boost for Martin O’Neill?
It certainly would be.
86 goals and 54 assists in 196 outings for Zagreb proves what the versatile attacker is capable of in the right environment, and a player that can feature out wide or through the middle can be hugely useful for Forest as they look to secure a top-six finish during the run-in.
The Reds have only scored eight goals in eight league games since O’Neill replaced Aitor Karanka at the helm in January, with the likes of Joe Lolley and Lewis Grabban not quite in the same form as earlier in the season.
They are in need of an added goal threat right now with players like Joao Carvalho out of favour, and Soudani might well be the player to provide it.
