Nottingham Forest tease injury update as striker spotted in training

Emmanuel Dennis has been spotted in training for Nottingham Forest as they prepare to face Leicester City in the Premier League.

The 24-year-old was called up by Nigeria as a replacement to Henry Onyekuru, though he later had to withdraw from international duty after picking up an injury. The Super Eagles later posted an update on Twitter stating he would miss out the friendly meeting against Algeria on Tuesday night.

No further details have been given on the striker's injury or how long he may be sidelined for. However, with preparations taking place ahead of the Premier League's return, he has been pictured in Forest training gear at the Nigel Doughty Academy in a photograph posted from the club's official Twitter account.

The Reds will make the trip to the King Power Stadium to face Leicester next Monday (October 3, 8pm kick-off). Three other players - Moussa Niakhate, Scott McKenna and Morgan Gibbs-White - are also doubts for the game.

Niakhate suffered a hamstring injury in the win over West Ham United, while McKenna pulled out of the Scotland squad with a knee strain. And former Wolves man Gibbs-White had to withdraw from England's under-21 squad.
