Nottingham Forest defender Moussa Niakhate is said to have trained away from the main group after linking up with his national team.
And doubt has been cast over whether the summer signing will be involved for Senegal in their upcoming games. If he does, it will be his first run-out since the Reds’ 1-0 win over West Ham United last month.
Niakhate has been sidelined with a hamstring injury since then. The current international break saw him called up to the Senegal squad for the first time, but it remains to be seen whether he gets out on the pitch.
