Nottingham Forest boss Nuno Espirito Santo says Taiwo Awoniyi’s outlook is ‘positive’ after he was put in an induced coma following urgent surgery on an abdominal surgery.
Awoniyi had two stages of surgery to repair internal damage suffered when he collided with a post during Sunday’s 2-2 draw with Leicester.
‘He went to surgery, surgery went well, thank God,’ Nuno explained. ‘He is under observation now, but he is recovering, we still have to wait for the doctors to allow visits. We are concerned but it is positive.
‘It has been very difficult because of the concern of the injury, the situation he went through.
‘It’s been very difficult, very difficult on us and on everybody, the concern of the injury that he had, the situation that he entered through, it’s been hard on us.’
