Nottingham Forest are understood to be “extremely frustrated” with the Senegal FA over the treatment of midfielder Cheikhou Kouyate.
The summer signing is facing an extended period out of action with a torn hamstring, which he sustained while on duty for his country in the World Cup. He adds to the Reds’ injury list as they prepare for their return to competitive action in less than a fortnight’s time.
Kouyate was stretchered off in Senegal’s opening group game of the tournament last month. A second half collision with Frenkie de Jong in his team’s 2-0 defeat to the Netherlands left him needing treatment on the pitch before being carried off.
