The measure was taken to stabilize his condition, limit movement, and manage his heart rate. He is expected to undergo a second procedure on Wednesday.

Awoniyi, who had only been on the pitch for five minutes after coming on as a late substitute for Ibrahim Sangaré, received immediate treatment on the field following the incident.

Super Eagles striker, Taiwo Awoniyi says he’s not losing sleep over the growing competition in Nigeria’s attack, as he downplays…

Awoniyi, who had been sidelined since early April, came on as a substitute in the 75th minute, replacing Chris Wood as Forest looked to hold on to their lead.

Awoniyi sustained a hamstring injury during Forest’s 1-0 victory over Manchester United, which caused him to miss the following match against Aston Villa.

The defeat keeps Nottingham Forest in third place on the table, but they’ll be concerned about their squad depth as the season intensifies.

His poor form contributed to his omission from Nigeria’s squad for the last international break, missing the qualifiers against Rwanda and Zimbabwe.

Nigeria will take on Rwanda in Kigali on March 21 before hosting Zimbabwe in Uyo on March 25, aiming to revive their World Cup qualification hopes.

With his latest performance and goal, Awoniyi will be hoping for more opportunities once he recovers from his injury.

However, the extent of his injury remains uncertain, leaving both Forest and Nigerian fans anxious ahead of crucial fixtures.
