Super Eagles striker Taiwo Awoniyi has broken his silence after surviving a life-threatening injury and surgery that left him in a medically induced coma.
- Awoniyi ruptured his intestine after colliding with the goalpost during a Premier League game against Leicester City.
- The striker underwent emergency surgery and was placed in an induced coma to aid recovery.
- He is now conscious, in recovery, and unlikely to feature again this season for Nottingham Forest.
In an emotional Instagram post, Awoniyi expressed gratitude to teammates, fans, and well-wishers. “I’m grateful to still be here, still be fighting,” he wrote, adding that hospital visits lifted his spirits during recovery.
Awoniyi’s absence is a major blow to Forest’s end-of-season hopes. Will his emotional resilience inspire the squad to finish strong despite their top striker’s absence?
