Striker Taiwo Awoniyi is progressing well in his recovery from the groin injury in the latest update on the Player’s fitness.

Nottingham Forest’s manager, Steve Cooper stated this during an interview with the press on Thursday.

Awoniyi has missed the last three matches for Club and Country due to muscle injury.

The injury forced the forward out of Tricky Trees games at Crystal Palace and Nigeria’s double friendlies against Saudi Arabia and Mozambique.

After almost three weeks on the treatment table, the striker could return to full training soon.

“Taiwo is progressing well. He’s not far off some training, so let’s see how the next week goes, going into the game after Saturday,” Cooper was quoted by nottinghampost.com.

Awoniyi has three goals in the Premier League for Nottingham Forest this season.
