Nottingham Forest defender Moussa Niakhate is expected to make his return from injury this month, it has been reported.
Niakhate has been out injured since August 14, when he picked up a hamstring injury and was forced off during the 1-0 win over West Ham at the City Ground.
It was a huge blow for Niakhate, who had arrived from Mainz in the summer, to pick up the injury in just his second match for the club. A subsequent scan showed the injury to be more serious than was first hoped, and he has since suffered a number of setbacks during his recovery.
