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.

Newcastle has plunged into its most challenging period since the club was bought by Saudi Arabia’s sovereign wealth fund.
A 2-1 home loss to Bournemouth on Saturday was a third straight defeat in the Premier League for Newcastle, which is languishing in 14th place in the 20-team top flight with five games remaining in the campaign. The team received boos at full time.
It leaves Newcastle manager Eddie Howe — hired in November 2021, weeks after the takeover by Saudi’s Public Investment Fund — under increasing pressure, with the club not giving any assurances he’ll be in charge beyond this season.
At St. James’ Park, Adrien Truffert broke a tie in the 85th minute with his first Premier League goal to win the game for eighth-place Bournemouth, which is unbeaten in 13 straight league matches — including six wins.
Marcus Tavernier turned in Rayan’s cross across the goalmouth in the 32nd minute to put the Cherries ahead. Will Osula equalized in the 68th minute after an initial offside call was overturned in a video review.
Wolverhampton lost 3-0 at Leeds and will be relegated if third-to-last Tottenham beats Brighton later Saturday.
Wolves, who have just 17 points from 33 games, have been in the Premier League for the past eight seasons.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin converted a stoppage-time penalty to round off the win after early goals by James Justin — with a bicycle kick — and Noah Okafor. Leeds moved nine points clear of the relegation zone.

Brentford failed to boost its unlikely Champions League qualification hopes by drawing a fifth straight game in the Premier League, this time 0-0 at home to Fulham.
Brentford could have climbed above Chelsea, which plays Manchester United later, and into sixth place with a win but missed a slew of chances. Top scorer Igor Thiago hit the goal frame.

Manchester City ignited the Premier League title race with a second-half blitz that sealed a 3-0 win against Chelsea as it closed the gap on leader Arsenal on Sunday.
Pep Guardiola’s side produced a devastating spell immediately after half-time, with Nico O’Reilly and Marc Guehi scoring in the space of six minutes at Stamford Bridge. Jeremy Doku wrapped up a statement victory to ensure City took advantage of Arsenal’s shock 2-1 home defeat against Bournemouth on Saturday.
Second-placed City is now only six points behind Arsenal with a game in hand, setting up a seismic showdown against the Gunners at the Etihad Stadium on April 19.
Having beaten Arsenal in the League Cup final and thrashed Liverpool in the FA Cup quarter-finals, City is hitting form at just the right time.
Its bid for a seventh English title under Guardiola appeared to be fading after successive draws with strugglers West Ham and Nottingham Forest in their previous two league matches. A disjointed first half against Chelsea suggested City might waste a golden opportunity to pile pressure on Arsenal.

But Guardiola’s half-time team-talk had the desired effect and City can now target next weekend’s do-or-die visit from Mikel Arteta’s spluttering team.
If City wins that blockbuster clash, it will be within three points of Arsenal, which blew substantial leads in the 2023 and 2024 title races, allowing Guardiola’s men to pip them to the trophy.
Arteta said the defeat to Bournemouth was a “punch in the face” and City’s success in west London was another body blow for the Spaniard. City has won 29 of its 32 league games in the month of April in recent seasons, underlining its ability to thrive when the title pressure mounts.
After winning its first four league matches following Liam Rosenior’s arrival from Strasbourg to replace Enzo Maresca, Chelsea has won just one of its last seven, losing three in a row and faced with some difficult questions.
Chelsea, which hasn’t beaten City since the 2021 Champions League final, was again without Enzo Fernandez after Rosenior’s controversial decision to drop the Argentine midfielder for hinting he might leave in the summer.
Cherki sparkles
Sixth-placed Chelsea looked subdued without Fernandez and it trailed four points behind Liverpool in the race to qualify for the Champions League via a top-five finish.
Lacking energy and cohesion in a sloppy start, City was fortunate not to fall behind when Marc Cucurella’s clinical finish was disallowed for a tight offside. City also let Pedro Neto in far too easily for a stinging strike that forced Gianluigi Donnarumma to save at his near post.

It took City 35 minutes to mount an incisive raid as Bernardo Silva stretched to meet O’Reilly’s cross, but Robert Sanchez made a fine save from the midfielder’s close-range effort.
City stepped up after the interval and O’Reilly made the breakthrough in the 51st minute.
Rayan Cherki whipped an in-swinging cross from the right wing towards O’Reilly and the City left-back reprised his League Cup final heroics with another clinical header from close range.
Six minutes later, Cherki again showed the creative genius that has won over Guardiola despite some impetuous moments in his first season in Manchester.
The France playmaker glided past a gaggle of Chelsea players on the edge of the area before threading a sublime pass to Guehi, who looked more like a forward than a centre-back as he smashed a perfect strike into the far corner from 12 yards.
City benefitted from wretched Chelsea defending for its third goal in the 68th minute.
Sanchez rolled the ball to Moises Caicedo even though the Chelsea midfielder was surrounded by three City players and Doku pounced, racing into the area to drill home.
