Nottingham Forest midfielder Cheikhou Kouyate is edging closer to making a return from injury.
The 33-year-old suffered a torn hamstring while representing his country at last year’s World Cup. He was stretchered off in Senegal’s opening group game following a collision with the Netherlands' Frenkie de Jong.
Kouyate had been in good form for the Reds prior to that. And with head coach Steve Cooper having had to contend with a lengthy absentee list in recent weeks, he has been boosted by the summer signing’s return to training.
