Following their early exit from the 34th edition of the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON 2023) in Ivory Coast, Senegalese internationals Moussa Niakhate and Cheikhou Kouyaté are back in action, resuming training with Nottingham Forest on Tuesday, February 6.
As the Téranga Lions regroup after their AFCON2023 campaign, which concluded sooner than expected, the focus for players like Niakhate and Kouyaté is shifting back to their respective club commitments.
While notable Senegalese stars like Sadio Mané, who swiftly rejoined Al Nassr, and Pape Matar Sarr, who returned to Tottenham, have already resumed their club duties, attention now turns to the return of Moussa Niakhate and Cheikhou Kouyaté to Nottingham Forest.
The two Senegalese internationals were spotted on Tuesday as they actively participated in training sessions, gearing up to contribute to Nottingham Forest’s upcoming challenges.
The duo’s return signals a concerted effort to re-energize and focus on their club responsibilities following the national team’s campaign in the prestigious African tournament.
The timing of their return aligns with Nottingham Forest’s ongoing efforts to strengthen their squad and elevate their performance in domestic competitions.
The club and fans alike will be eager to witness the impact of Niakhate and Kouyaté as they reintegrate into the Forest setup.
As the football world continues to evolve post the African continental tournament, Nottingham Forest aims to leverage the experience and skills of their returning Senegalese internationals, hoping for a positive impact on the team’s overall dynamics.
With the Téranga Lions looking to the future, the focus for Niakhate and Kouyaté is now firmly on club football, and Nottingham Forest supporters can anticipate the duo’s contributions as the club pursues its objectives in the ongoing football season.
