Forest star escapes critical condition

Awoniyi's injury occurred in the 2-2 draw with Leicester in round 36 of the Premier League.

Mail Sport sources said Awoniyi is awake after the complex surgery. The surgery was completed as planned and Awoniyi's condition has improved. The Nottingham Forest striker is awake after surgery and is with his family.

The 27-year-old striker collided hard with the goal post in the 2-2 draw with Leicester in the 36th round of the Premier League last weekend. After a few minutes of treatment, he continued playing before leaving the field.

However, the Nigerian player's condition later became serious. He was rushed to the hospital on May 13, in critical condition with a serious abdominal injury that was life-threatening.

The incident Awoniyi encountered in round 36 of the Premier League was also the reason why Forest owner, Evangelos Marinakis, went down to the field and argued with coach Nuno Espirito Santo.

Despite Awoniyi's injury, Forest were unable to replace him as they had used up all their substitutions. Billionaire Marinakis believes that coach Espirito Santo made a mistake by using his last substitution to bring on Jota Silva to replace Elliot Anderson not long ago.

Mr. Marinakis questioned the Forest head coach right on the field, saying that the coach was wrong to think Awoniyi was fit enough to continue playing, causing the team to play the final minutes with 10 men on the field.
