Awoniyi and Aina's Nottingham Forest risk points deduction as FFP dosier looms
Nottingham Forest's recent winning streak, which includes victory over Manchester United, is now being overshadowed by FFP breach concerns.
Greenwood's frustration boiled over after he felt he was fouled multiple times, unacknowledged by the referee. This led to an intense moment where replays suggested that Greenwood used explicit language towards the official.
Getafe's boss, Bordalas, revealed in his post-match press conference the nature of Greenwood's words. "The player told me that he said ‘don’t f*** with me’, only that," Bordalas explained. He emphasised that while the player's outburst was born out of frustration, it wasn't intended as an insult. "It was a comment, ‘don’t f*** with me; why won’t you blow the whistle?'" Bordalas added, shedding light on the incident.

A Game to Forget for Getafe
The match proved to be a difficult one for Getafe, with the team ending the game with just eight players. Juanmi Latasa and Damian Suarez also received red cards in a game that could be described as nothing short of chaotic for the team.
In the midst of this controversy, Greenwood's future has become a hot topic. SunSport recently revealed that Barcelona is eyeing a £40 million move for the winger. However, the Spanish giants are not alone in their interest, as Atletico Madrid is also reportedly in the race for his signature.
