Rui Barbosa, a member of Nottingham Forest's coaching staff, required six stitches after cutting his head on the dugout during a goal celebration, according to 90min.
The incident occurred when Barbosa's reaction to a Forest goal became forceful enough to bring him into contact with the structure of the dugout. The resulting wound was serious enough to need stitching, though no further details about his condition were provided by the report.
It is, in its own way, a measure of the atmosphere around the City Ground this season. Forest have re-established themselves in the Premier League after years away from the top flight, and the coaching staff have been as caught up in that journey as anyone. Celebrations in the technical area have reflected that intensity throughout the campaign.
Barbosa works within a backroom setup that has been central to Forest's revival. The dugout, by its nature, offers little room for the kind of release that a goal in a tight fixture can provoke, and the consequences in this case were immediate.
He is understood to have received treatment and been patched up. Whether the stitches kept him from his duties at any point is not made clear by 90min's report. What is clear is that, for at least one member of Forest's staff, this season has been felt very physically indeed.
