Super Eagles striker, Awoniyi in coma after emergency surgery

Nottingham Forest forward Taiwo Awoniyi required immediate surgical treatment late Monday following an injury sustained during Sunday’s 2-2 Premier League draw against Leicester at the City Ground.
Awoniyi’s injury occurred after he collided with the goal frame late in the game when he came on as a second-half substitute, leading to a debated discussion involving the club’s manager and owner.
Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis ran onto the pitch after the match to challenge manager Nuno Espirito Santo, upset by confusion between the coaching staff and medical team regarding the handling of Awoniyi’s injury.
With two matches left to play, Forest currently occupies the seventh spot in the league table, trailing fifth-placed Chelsea by a single point as they aim for a surprising spot in the Champions League—a prospect that may be blocked by UEFA regulations due to owner Marinakis also holding a leading role at Olympiacos.
Forest has not disclosed how long Awoniyi will be sidelined, and although the injury is believed non-life-threatening, his absence complicates the club’s chances of securing top-five league finish.
