TAIWO AWONIYI’S SERIOUS INJURY
According to the Daily Mail, this injury could have been life-threatening for Taiwo Awoniyi if he had not been treated promptly with a complex surgery.
The source said that Tayo underwent surgery on Tuesday and is currently in a medically induced coma to limit his movement and control his heart rate. The second phase of the surgery is expected to take place today (May 14).
The injury occurred in the final minutes of the match. Tayo collided hard with the post in an attempt to score. Although he initially tried to continue playing and signaled to coach Nuno Espirito Santo that he was okay, the Nigerian player was later forced to leave the field because he could not continue.
Taiwo Awoniyi’s injury left Nottingham Forest with only 10 men on the field at a crucial moment, greatly affecting their goal of qualifying for the Champions League. This situation also led to tension between the club’s president, Evangelos Marinakis, and head coach Nuno Santo.
