Nottingham Forest will be sweating over the fitness of Cheikhou Kouyate as a fresh update suggests the midfielder has suffered a different injury to the one first identified.
The summer signing lined up for Senegal in their opening World Cup match against the Netherlands on Monday night. However, a second half collision with Frenkie de Jong left him needing treatment on the pitch before being stretchered off.
After the Group A clash, which Senegal lost 2-0, manager Aliou Cisse said Kouyate had twisted his ankle. Discussing his team’s injury situation, Cisse said: “Abdou Diallo has a muscular problem. Cheikhou Kouyate twisted his ankle. I hope there is nothing important. For now, I can't say anything about it yet. We will take stock tomorrow (Tuesday) and we will have more information.”
