The 25-year-old, who has scored six goals and four assists in 43 matches across all competitions this season, picked up the problem during Forest’s Europa League quarterfinal second-leg victory over Porto on Thursday.
“Nottingham Forest can confirm that Callum Hudson-Odoi suffered an injury to his right quadriceps muscle,” the club said in a statement.
“Following further specialist consultation, the winger has undergone surgery today and will commence his rehabilitation with our medical staff immediately. Callum is expected to return to full training during the pre-season period, and everyone at the club wishes him a speedy recovery.”
Forest is 16th in the Premier League with 36 points and five matches remaining. It is five points clear of 18th-placed Tottenham Hotspur in the relegation zone.
Forest next visits 11th-placed Sunderland on Friday before hosting Aston Villa in the first leg of their Europa League semifinal on April 30.

Mandatory Credit: Jayne Kamin-Oncea-Imagn Images Yoshinobu Yamamoto will be aiming for his first career win against the San Francisco Giants when the visiting Los Angeles Dodgers take on their rivals for the first time this season Tuesday night in the opener of a three-game series.
The Giants are expected to counter with their hottest pitcher, right-hander Landen Roupp (3-1, 2.38 ERA), who, like Yamamoto, enters the series in fine form but never has beaten his Tuesday opponent.
While the Giants enjoyed a day off Monday following a 4-5 trip through Baltimore, Cincinnati and Washington, the Dodgers salvaged a 2-2 split at Colorado with a five-home run barrage that produced a 12-3 romp over the Rockies.
Yamamoto (2-1, 2.10) hasn’t allowed more than five hits or two runs in any of his four starts and has walked a total of just three batters all season.
The right-hander was so impressive in his last outing on April 14 — a 2-1 home win over the New York Mets in which he gave up just four hits and one run with seven strikeouts in 7 2/3 innings — that Dodgers manager Dave Roberts all but labeled Yamamoto the best pitcher in the game.
“We don’t have to look any further than October to see what he’s done,” Roberts told reporters, alluding to Yamamoto’s record (7-1, 2.25 ERA) over 10 career postseason games. “The huge velocity of (Tarik) Skubal and (Paul) Skenes and what they’ve done, and rightfully so, but our guy has done it in the biggest of moments.”
Yamamoto will be making his fourth career start at Oracle Park, his most at any road site. He hasn’t gotten a decision in any of his three previous visits despite a 2.29 ERA and 23 strikeouts in 19 2/3 innings.
Overall, the 27-year-old is 0-1 with a 3.03 ERA in five career starts against the Giants.
Roupp accounted for two of the four wins on the Giants’ just-completed trip, limiting the Orioles and Reds to a total of six hits and one run over 12 innings.
His most recent outing — he threw the first six innings of a 3-0 win at Cincinnati on Thursday — helped convince new Giants manager Tony Vitello to push Tyler Mahle back a day in the team rotation, moving Roupp into the No. 3 slot behind Logan Webb and Robbie Ray.
Mahle has been rescheduled to start Wednesday’s rematch, opposed by Shohei Ohtani.
As in his last start, Roupp will be pitching the game following a loss. He acknowledged in Cincinnati the responsibility of getting the ball in that situation.
“I just wanted to go out there and stop the bleeding, and get us back on the right track,” he told reporters after the win. “I just wanted to go out there and just give the team the best chance to win.”
Roupp has not fared well against the Dodgers in four previous duels, including two starts, going 0-2 with a 7.30 ERA.
Interestingly, the 27-year-old has never allowed a hit to Max Muncy or Dalton Rushing in a combined four previous head-to-heads, two of which resulted in strikeouts.
Muncy and Rushing combined for six hits, including two homers apiece, and five RBIs on Tuesday at Colorado.

#Sinner #Madrid #Masters #boost #career #Grand #Slam #chances #ahead #French #Open">Sinner wants to use Madrid Masters to boost career Grand Slam chances ahead of French Open
World number one Jannik Sinner said on Tuesday his principal aim as he prepares for the Madrid Open is to be in the “best possible shape” for Roland Garros next month as he seeks to complete a career Grand Slam.
The 24-year-old won his first major title on clay earlier this month as he downed rival Carlos Alcaraz in straight sets in the Monte Carlo Masters final.
Next he turns his attentions to the 1000-level event in Madrid as the clay-court season ramps up towards the only Grand Slam tournament Sinner has not yet won — Roland Garros, which will run from May 24 to June 7.
“I never played very well here, so let’s see how it goes this year,” Sinner, who has never got past the quarterfinal stage in the Spanish capital, told reporters the day before the Madrid Open begins.
“I’m trying to improve as a player and here might be one of the most challenging ones because of certain things (altitude and wind).”

Despite being heavily favoured to pick up a fifth consecutive Masters title, Sinner revealed that for him “the most important is Roland Garros”.
“We try to maximise to be in the best possible shape there, but I’m here trying to do my best and then we’ll see how it goes,” he added.
Sinner lost an all-time classic Roland Garros final last year to Alcaraz, despite holding three championship points.
But the Italian said he regretted the upcoming absences of the world number two, due to Alcaraz suffering a wrist injury, and 24-time Grand Slam champion Novak Djokovic in Madrid.
“It’s a very big pity to not have (Alcaraz) here and also Novak, the two biggest stars in tennis,” Sinner said. “We have shared since last year a lot of tournaments, but again, in my mind I also know if I want to play against Carlos it’s in the final and the way to the final is very long.”
Top seed Sinner will start his Madrid Open campaign in the second round against a yet to be determined opponent.
