Taiwo Awoniyi is in induced coma

Awoniyi is in intensive care, and in the next few hours additional information is expected. Initially, it seemed that the injury was not serious, but its situation was complicated.

Nottingham Forest's footballer underwent an emergency operation due to an abdominal injury suffered during the Premier League match against Leicester on Sunday.

Forest missed important points in front of his supporters in the fight for the Champions League (2-2) against the already retrograde Leicester, and at the end of the match he lost the services of the Nigerian striker, who was injured in the 88th minute, hitting the Porti Bar during an attack.

Awoniyi delayed at a ball at the second bar, at the end of a counterattack, and because of the inertia he failed to stop and hit the gate violently. After receiving medical care on the field, Forest's striker continued the match, but it was obvious that he has difficulty. Finally, it was proven that the situation is more serious than it was initially believed.

The English club also issued a press release in which to make clarifications about the attacker's situation.

Nottingham Forest's communication

Nottingham Forest confirms that Taiwo Awoniyi is recovering well so far after emergency surgery, needed due to a serious abdominal injury in Sunday's match against Leicester City.

The severity of its injury is a powerful reminder of the physical risks involved in this sport and why the health and well -being of a player must always be in the first place. At Nottingham Forest, this principle is not just a policy – it is a deep faith, shared by our employer. For Evangelos Marinakis, this club is not just a football team – it is a family – and he instills this message in each of us. This is why he was so emotionally involved in the situation that held on Sunday at the City Ground stadium.

His reaction was one of deep care, responsibility and emotional involvement towards one of our players. He did not look at this incident as an isolated case, but as a moment that reflects the values ​​and unity of the whole team. At such times, he demonstrates his leadership qualities not only by words, but by actions and his presence.

In the last ten minutes of the match, when he saw that our player was obviously suffering, tormented by a visible pain, it was increasingly difficult to stay on the edge. The deep frustration of seeing the player lying on the lawn, in intense pain – Something that no one really empathetic can ignore – caused him to enter the field. It was an instinctive, human gesture and a proof of how much this team means and its people. It would do the same again, if such an unfortunate event would repeat it. The truth is that there was no confrontation – neither with Nuno, nor someone else – neither on the ground, nor inside the stadium. There was only a frustration shared by everyone that the medical team should not have allowed the game by the player.

In this context, we call on former coaches, players and other public football figures to refrain from hasty judgments and not to spread false information in the online environment, especially when they do not have all the facts and context. Indignation without foundation and lack of information, just to get attention on social networks, does not help anyone – the less the injured player. We call for these influential voices to show the same respect for the well -being of the players they often ask from others. The care must be in front of the comments.

At Nottingham Forest, we believe that the mental and physical condition of players and technical staff must always have priority – in front of media narratives, inflammatory judgments and certainly in the face of self -promotion. At such times, the whole world of football must unite around those who put their body and mind every week. That means true leadership in our sport.
