Oleksandr Zinchenko was visibly upset after being forced off by an injury in Nottingham Forest’s match against Porto on Thursday night.

Zinchenko was replaced by Nicola Savona in the 45th minute after appearing to injure his groin. The Ukraine international, who is on loan from Arsenal, pulled his shirt up over his face and appeared to be in tears as he went off with the medical staff.

The left-back was making his sixth appearance of the season for Forest in their first match under their third manager of the season, Sean Dyche. Things had been going well for Forest, who led 1-0 at the break thanks to Morgan Gibbs-White’s penalty following a handball by Jan Bednarek.
