Super Eagles and Nottingham Forest forward, Taiwo Awoniyi has adopted a more cautious approach to his fitness after spending several months sidelined due to injuries last season.

Awoniyi faced a challenging year, grappling first with an ankle injury and later a groin issue that necessitated surgery.

These setbacks forced him to miss the latter part of the club’s campaign and crucial World Cup qualifiers for Nigeria against South Africa and Benin Republic.

Despite the difficulties, Awoniyi managed to make 23 appearances, netting six goals and providing three assists throughout the season.

Now, as he returns to Nottingham Forest for pre-season training ahead of the new Premier League campaign, the forward is keenly aware of his physical limits.

“I listen more to my body now,” Awoniyi said, emphasizing his commitment to maintaining his health and fitness as he prepares for the upcoming season.
