Moussa Niakhate injury update as Nottingham Forest star makes big promise

Nottingham Forest defender Moussa Niakhate has provided a positive update on his hamstring injury with a video posted on his social media.

The defender sustained the injury in the 1-0 win over West HamUnited last month and has missed the last six games for Steve Cooper's side. However, there was slight optimism last week when he was called-up for Senegal's upcoming games against Bolivia and Iran, suggesting he could be back in action soon.

In a social media post on his Instagram account, Niakhate has dropped another huge hint that he could return to action at the City Ground sooner rather than later. In the video, the 26-year-old is seen doing stretches and exercises using an exercise band.

Niakhate also posted another message on his Instagram, laying out his eagerness to return to the Reds' side "ASAP". Alongside three images of him away on international duty, he said: "Happy to have discovered this great band!

"Can't wait to be physically fit to honour my 1st pick. Now back (a little early) to Nottingham to continue the work to be ready to meet the targets ASAP!"

How much of an impact will having Niakhate back make? Have your say in the comments...
