Tendayi Darikwa faces a spell on the sidelines.
Nottingham Forest defender Tendayi Darikwa faces a spell out of action with a knee injury.
The Nottingham Post reported yesterday that Darikwa was set for time out after picking up the injury in pre-season.
Darikwa himself confirmed the blow, saying he will be out ‘for a while’.
He thanked Forest fans on Twitter for their support.
Darikwa is Forest’s first choice right-back, making 28 starts last season.
Forest signed Sam Byram as competition last year, only to see him suffer a serious injury.
They lost out on signing Byram on a permanent deal to Norwich City earlier this summer.
Missing out on that deal to the newly promoted side now looks even more costly.
