‘Defended well’… National media enjoy performance of £11m Nottingham Forest star last night
In 2024, Andrew Omobamidele has seized an opportunity to excel at Nottingham Forest. In recent days, he has also demonstrated his abilities on the global stage.
Several Forest stars have been away on international duty over the past few weeks. Anthony Elanga has been away with Sweden, whilst Matz Sels saved a penalty against Omobamidele’s Republic of Ireland over the weekend.
Last night, it was the turn of Forest central defender Omobamidele once again. After shining against Belgium on Saturday, he was handed another chance to start for his country against Switzerland.
The 21-year-old was a surprise summer signing for Forest from Norwich and he cost £11 million. Since the turn of the year, he’s been handed chances at the City Ground and has largely done well.
Last night, it was another disappointing result for the Republic of Ireland as they were beaten 1-0 by Switzerland. However, Omobamidele again received some praise from the national media.
Well, it will do Omobamidele’s development no harm at all to get a couple of games under his belt for his country. Now, he will return to Forest and hope to get a place back in Nuno Espirito Santo’s team.
Last night, it was a battling performance from the Irish again but ultimately it ended in vain. Forest youngster Omobamidele did get some praise, however, for his efforts at the back.
