Callum Hudson-Odoi, a winger for Nottingham Forest, will be sidelined for at least six weeks, according to Steve Cooper.
The 22-year-old, who signed with the Reds this summer, sustained an injury during the international break, which prevented him from playing in the 2-2 draw against Luton Town.
Hudson-Odoi, who joined Cooper’s team from Chelsea, has made a significant impact thus far. Against Burnley, he scored an incredible goal on his debut.
But despite his strong start, he will now be sidelined for a while.

Following the match, the Reds manager revealed to BBC Radio Nottingham that the 22-year-old would be absent for approximately six weeks.
“Divock [Origi] is missing for a few weeks less than Callum [Hudson-Odoi], and Taiwo [Awoniyi] isn’t back with us yet. Callum will be missing for at least six weeks.
“We have had a difficult week in terms of injuries, and we don’t have any natural attacking options to pull off the bench.”
