Nottingham Forest star, Taiwo Awoniyi out of induced coma and recovering well with his family

Super Eagles and Nottingham Forest striker, Taiwo Awoniyi, is out of an induced coma and is recovering well after undergoing urgent surgery on a serious abdominal injury.

 

 

LIB reported that the Nottingham Forest striker was in intensive care on Wednesday, May 14, after surgeons carried out a complex operation.

 

 

According to Mail Online, the procedure has now been completed as planned, and the player is being monitored at the hospital. It is understood he was awake following the surgery and with his family.

 

Awoniyi, 27, crashed into a post during Sunday's 2-2 draw with Leicester and after several minutes of treatment, returned to action before being taken off. The Nigerian was rushed to hospital after the extent of the injury was confirmed on Monday.

 

Awoniyi could not be substituted because Forest had used their last available switch to replace Elliot Anderson with Jota Silva. In scary scenes he bravely tried to carry on, but was unable to move properly with his side seeking a late winner to keep their Champions League hope alive.
