The return of centre-back Moussa Niakhate has prompted an excited reaction from Nottingham Forest fans ahead of Friday’s Premier League clash against Newcastle United.
The centre-back has been out of action since August with a hamstring injury, having impressed on his two appearances for the club since signing from Bundesliga side Mainz in the summer.
The 27-year-old returned to the matchday squad for the weekend’s defeat against Spurs at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. He was, though, an unused substitute as Forest lost the game 3-1.
