Ola Aina Admits On-Air to ‘Talking Stage’ With Another Player’s Girlfriend

He is recovering from hamstring surgery with a return not expected before early 2026.

Overview

  • Appearing on Channel 4.0’s Savage Kids & Agony Aunties, the Nottingham Forest defender said he is in the “talking stage” with a fellow footballer’s girlfriend and declined to name the other player.
  • Panellists urged him to be honest with the unnamed colleague, and Aina agreed on-air to follow their advice.
  • Daily Star reported that Aina later posted on Snapchat claiming the segment was scripted for entertainment and did not reflect his real life.
  • Manager Sean Dyche has said Aina is recovering from hamstring surgery and is not expected to be available for Forest until January or early 2026, after last playing in August.
  • Goal reported he could still be considered for Nigeria’s Africa Cup of Nations squad, though such a call-up would be a surprise given his limited minutes.
