Nottingham Forest striker Awoniyi undergoes emergency surgery after colliding with post

Super Eagles striker Taiwo Awoniyi has undergone emergency surgery following a collision with the post during Nottingham Forest's Premier League clash against Leicester City at the City Ground on Sunday.

According to The Guardian UK, the operation was carried out on Monday night after medical scans revealed he sustained a serious abdominal injury.

The incident occurred when Awoniyi, known for his powerful style of play, came sliding in at high speed and crashed into the post while attempting to connect with a cross.

Although Awoniyi was able to walk off the pitch on his own, further examinations revealed internal injuries serious enough to warrant immediate medical intervention.

Fortunately, the English newspaper has reported that Awoniyi is not in any life-threatening condition.

However, the full extent of his recovery timeline remains uncertain.

Neither Nottingham Forest nor Awoniyi have released an official statement regarding the injury or the surgery.

The 27-year-old has seen his minutes reduced this season due to the form of 20-goal striker Chris Wood.

Awoniyi has logged 399 minutes in the Premier League across 26 appearances, scoring just one goal.
