Matt Turner’s wife has revealed how one of the Nottingham Forest goalkeeper’s team-mates broke her nose at a Premier League game.
Turner signed for Forest last summer as he made the switch from Arsenal.
He married former NFL cheerleader Ashley Herron in 2022.

Herron told talkSPORT: ‘I’ve got a broken nose right now because I went to a game and got hit in the nose.
‘It happened during the warm up. It was [Gonzalo] Montiel. I don’t think it’s glitz and glamour.’
Herron will feature in a documentary on Amazon Prime called Married to the Game which follows the wives and girlfriends of Premier League players during last summer’s transfer window.
Herron admits that it took some time to adapt following Turner’s switch to the Premier League in 2022, when he signed for Arsenal from New England Revolution.
She said: ‘I don’t think I was necessarily prepared for the intensity of the Premier League. We came from MLS and obviously that’s not as high profile.
‘This league is just developed in people’s blood and it’s a beautiful thing. The pressure for the players and their families is something I don’t think you can prepare for.

‘You have to just go through the journey and experience it and that’s where you really learn the ins and outs of everything.
‘We moved over to Arsenal when I was eight months pregnant and I had to move before Matt finished up his season. I came to the country without a place to live.’
Since joining Forest, Turner has made 20 appearances, with 17 of those coming in the Premier League.
However, he has been on the bench for Forest’s last two league games following the signing of Matz Sels.
