Nottingham Forest have received a "hopeful" injury update on Cheikhou Kouyate after the midfielder was hurt while on World Cup duty with Senegal.
The 32-year-old started for his country against Netherlands on Monday and played 72 minutes before going down with an ankle injury following a collision with Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong.
Following their 2-0 loss to Louis van Gaal's side, Senegal boss Aliou Cisse said the Reds summer signing had twisted his ankle, whilst Sport News Africa later suggested he had suffered a torn thigh muscle and was expected to miss subsequent group matches against Qatar and Ecuador.
