Nottingham Forest striker Taiwo Awoniyi is in an induced coma after having the first phase of surgery on a serious abdominal injury.

The Nigeria international, 27, collided with the post in the 88th minute of the 2-2 draw against Leicester at the City Ground on Sunday as he attempted to get on the end of a cross from Anthony Elanga.

He had surgery on Monday night and remains in hospital, with the rest of the procedure set to be completed on Wednesday.

In a statement earlier on Tuesday, Forest said Awoniyi was "recovering well" following the operation.

After the incident on Sunday, he received treatment on the pitch and was able to continue but was visibly struggling when the match restarted.

Awoniyi, who ed Forest from Union Berlin in June 2022, had only been on the pitch for five minutes, having come on as a late substitute for Ibrahim Sangare.

Owner Evangelos Marinakis took to the field after the game to express his concern to manager Nuno Espirito Santo over how Awoniyi's injury was handled.

Marinakis is being kept updated on the forward's condition.

Awoniyi situation was not the reason why he was furious at Nuno. It's because the whole team was playing rubbish and they needed the match because Newcastle already defeated Chelsea 2 nil that day. And the owner is a chronic gambler

whippersnapper:

Induced comas are meant to protect patients from trauma.

Induced comas are medical interventions used in critical care situations to protect a patient from further stress.

His condition is not as bad it sounds and this information was not supposed to leak.

He will make a full recovery in Jesus name🙏

It was the reason. Try and follow football through multiple sources . His angst was against the medical team who had the opportunity to say the guy should be subbed off but rather have him a clean bill to proceed.
The club has issued a statement . Go to sky sport. Go to BBC

Injury incurred. At the end his goal qualified

Pls what kind of mysterious injury is this? A player accidently bang his stomach on goal post now turned "sos" situation, what type of pole is that?

Get Well Soon Bro

Best wishes brother
Quick Recovery

We wish a quick recovery mate.
