Luton’s victory over Bournemouth, their first in ten games, means that Forest is now only one goal above the drop zone.
Espirito Santo is playing for his former team, Wolves, and the Forest head coach is in desperate need of a victory to improve morale.
Chris Wood issued a statement following his defeat at Tottenham, but Espirito Santo is supporting the Forest striker to refute Lineker.
After all, Wood had a sad afternoon at Tottenham as Forest lost. The 32-year-old was on the scorecard, but not long after, he squandered a clear opportunity.
Espirito Santo has now been questioned about if he believes the miss will affect his performance moving forward in light of Lineker’s remarks, and he has backed his talisman.
Awoniyi, the striker for Forest, is supposedly recovering, but as of right now, the £15 million acquisition from Newcastle is the most valuable of the two attackers.
Wood has scored a variety of goals, so maybe he can keep up his hot streak and keep Forest in the Premier League this year.
In the end, for Espirito Santo to have an influence, every player must be healthy. But Wood’s significance stems from the sheer number of goals he has been scoring.
Wood’s injury history isn’t particularly impressive. Because of this, Forest and their Premier League standing may suffer greatly if the Reds were to lose him at this point in the season.
