Nottingham Forest advances to FA Cup semi-finals, concerns grow over Chris Wood's injury

Nottingham Forest has advanced to the semi-finals of the FA Cup after defeating Brighton & Hove Albion 4-3 on penalties, marking their first semi-final appearance since 1991. Despite the absence of injured striker Chris Wood, who is recovering from an injury sustained during international duty, Forest's manager Nuno Espirito Santo expressed optimism about Wood's recovery ahead of their upcoming Premier League match against Manchester United. Brighton, having previously endured a heavy defeat against Forest in the league, faced criticism for their exit from the FA Cup, which was seen as a missed opportunity for silverware. The victory adds to Forest's impressive run in the cup, having progressed through three consecutive penalty shootouts. As Forest pushes for Champions League qualification in the Premier League, they aim to capitalize on their momentum from the cup. Meanwhile, attention turns to potential transfers, with Tammy Abraham linked to a move to Forest as they seek to bolster their forward options ahead of the summer window.
