Taiwo Awoniyi's Road to Recovery after Coma: An Update on the Nottingham Forest Striker's Health
Household detention continues for Taiwo Awoniyi following his emergence from a coma state.
Get the latest on Nottingham Forest striker Taiwo Awoniyi, who's woken from an induced coma following a harrowing collision and two surgeries. According to manager Nuno Espirito Santo, the Nigerian star is on the mend, but careful observation remains vital.
Sunday's clash against Leicester City saw Awoniyi suffering a frightening injury after a collision with the goal post. He underwent emergency surgery, was placed in an induced coma, and is now awake and speaking with family. While there's a sense of relief, the 27-year-old is expected to stay in the hospital for the coming days, with doctors yet to grant visiting hours.
Espirito Santo shared a hopeful yet guarded message, "The operation went well, he's recovering. But we need to keep monitoring him." The injury happened as Awoniyyi went for a cross, and he was substituted in the 83rd minute. Despite taking a short break, he returned to the match, visibly distressed.
The incident sparked a heated confrontation between club owner Evangelos Marinakis and Espirito Santo on the pitch, later playing down the incident as frustration over a misjudgment by the medical staff regarding Awoniyi's fitness. The club also acknowledged shared frustration towards the medical team, stating that they "should never have allowed the player to continue playing."
