In a heartening update, Nottingham Forest's star striker, Taiwo Awoniyi, has stirred from his medically induced coma after a nail-biting collision with a goalpost during a Premier League clash against Leicester City. Espirito Santo, the Forest manager, shared the good news, adding that although Awoniyi is recovering, he remains under medical supervision.
Awoniyi faced a double battle after undergoing emergency surgery for a ruptured bowel[1]. He has now awakened, able to converse with his family, but remains in the hospital for the upcoming days[1]. Visiting permits have yet to be granted by the medical team[1].
Awoniyi's harrowing accident occurred during the 2:2 match where he leaped to reach a cross, resulting in the horrible collision. The unfortunate incident left him substituted in the 83rd minute[2]. Post treatment, he returned to the pitch, visibly struggling[2].
Nottingham Forest owner, Evangelos Marinakis, aired his frustrations when he stormed onto the field and confronted Espirito Santo after the match[2]. Marinakis later clarified his actions on Instagram, attributing them to angst over a supposed misjudgment by the medical team regarding Awoniyi's fitness to play[2].
Remembering his time with Bundesliga striker Awoniyi, Espirito Santo expressed worry yet optimism, acknowledging the challenging days that have transpired since the unfortunate incident[1]. "It's been tough due to the severity of the accident and the situation he went through, but it's positive," Espirito Santo shared[1].
Awoniyi made his mark on previous teams like FSV Mainz 05 from 2019 to 2020, and Union Berlin from 2020 to 2022[2]. Despite the obstacles, the 27-year-old's fighting spirit remains unbroken.
The incident has triggered a review within Nottingham Forest, questioning why Awoniyi was allowed to continue playing despite his critical injury[1]. While such injuries may be challenging to detect promptly in adrenaline-pumped athletes[3], the team aims to prevent such incidents in the future.
