Forest brought Ndoye home to rest as Neco Williams limped off in Oslo before Bournemouth

Nottingham Forest will get one of their internationals back early this week and may lose another to injury, and neither was planned. Switzerland released Dan Ndoye from their camp to manage his workload, by agreement with Forest, while Neco Williams limped off in Wales' 3-1 defeat in Oslo on Saturday. Oliver Glasner's side travel to Bournemouth on Saturday, November 21, for their first game since the 3-1 win over Manchester City.

Ndoye played 87 minutes of Switzerland's goalless draw with Slovenia on Friday. Switzerland are already promoted back to League A before Monday's game against Scotland in St. Gallen, so the Swiss federation let him go. "After securing promotion to League A of the UEFA Nations League, Dan Ndoye will leave the national team camp," the federation said. "The decision is part of managing the player's workload and was made in agreement with his club, Nottingham Forest."

That means the winger will have nearly a full week of training at the club before the trip to the south coast. It's a rare outcome in an international window, when clubs usually just wait and hope.

Williams started at right back against Norway and went down after trying a long-range shot. He landed badly, limped heavily and was replaced by Connor Roberts in the 72nd minute, just after Norway went 2-0 up. Wales boss Craig Bellamy didn't sound alarmed afterward. "One or two players had to come off injured," he told Sgorio. "We have a few, we have a quick turnaround, we'll travel back tonight, so we'll be straight on recovery tomorrow."

Wales host Portugal on Tuesday, and whether Williams plays there will be the first real sign of how serious the problem is. He has started 11 games for Forest this season.

Forest had 11 players away on international duty this month, among them Colombia right back Daniel Muñoz. The other option is Nicolò Savona, who rejoined team training before the break after seven months out following knee surgery. Glasner said the club hoped to give him minutes in a behind-closed-doors friendly during the window, but it would be a big ask to go from that untill a Premier League start.

Glasner already warned against easing off after the City result. "We say in Austria, one swallow doesn't make a summer," he said, adding that Bournemouth are on a winning run and the trip "will not be easier" than beating City. He may get a fresh Ndoye back to help with that, though he could be without Williams on the right.
