Nottingham Forest central defender Moussa Niakhaté has revealed that his "recovery is going well" ahead of a returning to fitness next year.
The uncapped Senegalese defender was not named in the country's 26-man World Cup squad on Friday, having previously been called up by national team head coach Aliou Cissé in September, despite being injured, due to the hamstring issue that has sidelined the player since the second match of the Premier League season.
Niakhaté started the Reds ' opening game against Newcastle United and the following fixture at the City Ground against West Ham United but was forced off late on during the 1-0 win and has not featured again since. The player has now opened up on the "challenging" last few months on social media.
