Cheikhou Kouyaté is in mourning. The Senegal midfielder lost his father Tuesday morning. He left the Lions' training camp in Yamoussoukro for Dakar, where the funeral took place on Wednesday. His club team-mates paid tribute to him this evening in the 3rd round of the FA Cup. They waved the Nottingham Forest shirt emblazoned with the number 8 worn by Cheikhou Kouyaté after Andrew Omobamidele's 18th-minute goal. The Reds led 1-0 at half-time against Blackpool.
