Notts County Manager Kevin Nolan Pleased with Shola Ameobi’s Swift Recovery from Injury
Notts County manager Kevin Nolan expressed his satisfaction with the swift return of former Newcastle United star Shola Ameobi, who has overcome a hamstring injury that sidelined him for a couple of weeks. Ameobi had been absent from the field since sustaining the injury during the win over Morecambe.
Nolan, cautious about the veteran’s fitness, emphasized that Ameobi’s return provides valuable options for the team. In an interview with the Nottingham Post, Nolan stated, “Shola’s return is great as it gives us more options. We are delighted how quick he has come back, and it just shows that the work he did in pre-season enables him to be strong and ready to go against Mansfield.”
Despite having a fully-fit squad, Nolan asserted that he would not rush Ameobi back into action to prevent any recurrence of the injury. The meticulous approach highlights the manager’s commitment to the long-term well-being of the team’s key players.
