Nottingham Forest receive Dan Ndoye update as Switzerland confirm early international withdrawal

Nottingham Forest winger Dan Ndoye has withdrawn from Switzerland's squad ahead of Monday's UEFA Nations League clash with Scotland.

The Swiss Football Association confirmed that the 26-year-old will return to his Premier League club following discussions over his workload.

Ndoye played against Slovenia on Friday as Switzerland secured promotion to League A, but he will not feature in their final group fixture.

The announcement comes as Forest prepare to resume their domestic campaign against Bournemouth.

Ndoye featured for 87 minutes in Switzerland's goalless draw with Slovenia on 13 November.

The result secured top spot in Nations League Group B1 and confirmed Murat Yakin's side would return to League A.

With promotion achieved, Switzerland have agreed to release the Forest attacker before Monday's home match against Scotland.

The Swiss FA announced that the decision was made as part of a workload management plan and in consultation with Nottingham Forest.

Crucially, the statement did not identify an injury as the reason for Ndoye's withdrawal.

However, it also offered no specific medical assessment of the winger's condition.

The early departure means Ndoye will avoid another international fixture before returning to club football.

Ndoye has established himself as a regular member of Forest's attack under manager Oliver Glasner.

The Switzerland international has scored twice in the Premier League this season and remains an important option as Forest look to improve their position in the table.

His early return from international duty could provide additional recovery time ahead of the meeting with Bournemouth.

Nevertheless, Forest have not confirmed whether he will be available for that fixture.

The official Swiss explanation points to managing his playing load rather than treating a newly reported injury.

That distinction is significant, particularly given Ndoye's involvement for almost the entire match against Slovenia.

Forest will have an opportunity to assess him after he returns to England.

For now, the confirmed development is that the club and Switzerland agreed to reduce his international workload, with his next Premier League appearance still to be determined.
