According to the Daily Mail, Super Eagles striker Taiwo Awoniyi is in an induced coma following emergency surgery.
In the final moments of Nottingham Forest’s 2-2 Premier League draw against Leicester City on Sunday, Awoniyi sustained an injury.
In the earlier part of Tuesday, the club issued a statement indicating that the Nigerian was “recovering well so far following urgent surgery on a serious abdominal injury
However, new reports assert that the injury could have been fatal without surgery, which has been characterized as a “complex” medical procedure.
Awoniyi received treatment on the field after he collided with the goalpost while attempting to score.
Er versuchte zunächst tapfer zu sein und weiterzuspielen, wurde aber schließlich nach ein paar Minuten gezwungen, vom Platz zu gehen.
As Forest pursued a crucial goal in their Champions League qualification efforts, the incident left them with 10 players on the field. This situation sparked a clash between Nuno and the club’s owner, Evangelos Marinakis.
