However, he now seems to be recovering.
He showed no signs of consequences as he played the whole match and won another cap for Senegal.
Dia is someone who has been on the radar of Premier League clubs for some time.
He has been a starter since joining Salernitana from Villarreal and last season he scored 16 goals for the mid-table Serie A side.
Everton tried to sign him in the summer.
He had a release clause of around £16m, but the Toffees chose to sign Beto instead.
Forest tried to lure the player in the summer of 2022, but were unable to lure him with a move.
