Nottingham Forest’s Taiwo Awoniyi placed in induced coma after surgery

Taiwo Awoniyi, the Nottingham Forest striker, has been placed in an induced coma for his urgent abdominal surgery following a serious injury sustained during Sunday’s match against Leicester. Though his condition isn’t life-threatening, the coma aims to restrict movement and regulate his heart rate. Despite the procedure, Awoniyi remains under medical observation at the club after receiving treatment on Monday evening. Forest confirmed he’s recovering well, while owner Evangelos Marinakis clarified that talk of a confrontation with Nuno Espírito Santo was unfounded.
