Nottingham Forest fullback Ola Aina, alongside his teammate Anthony Elanga, made a memorable gesture to celebrate Callum Hudson-Odoi's 24th birthday on Thursday, November 7, 2024.

The former Chelsea winger, who has been instrumental in the team's recent successes, received a unique birthday surprise, an assortment of eggs, during a jovial dressing room celebration.

In a light-hearted video and photo shared by ESPN Africa, Aina and Elanga serenaded Hudson-Odoi with a heartfelt rendition of the birthday song, presenting him with the eggs in a fun nod to the vibrant atmosphere within the squad.

This delightful moment comes on the heels of Nottingham Forest's impressive 3-0 victory over West Ham, which propelled them to third place in the Premier League standings.

Hudson-Odoi's partnership with Aina on the right wing has been pivotal for Forest this season, showcasing their on-field chemistry and contributing to the team's strong performance.

The duo is expected to continue their collaboration as Nottingham Forest prepare to face Newcastle at the City Ground on Sunday, November 10, at 3 PM.

Aina, enjoying a standout season under manager Nuno Espirito Santo, has participated in every Premier League match and has netted one goal thus far.

His exceptional form has earned him a spot in the Nigeria national team, as he is among the 23 players called up for the crucial 2025 AFCON qualifing matches against Benin's Cheetahs and Rwanda's Wasps.

Currently leading Group D with 10 points, Nigeria aims to secure qualification with just one point from their upcoming fixtures.
