‘Extraordinary’ Taiwo Awoniyi, a 26-year-old striker for Nottingham Forest, has recently been spotted back in the gym and appears to be close to making a comeback. Due to a new injury, the Nigerian was unable to travel to Crystal Palace and will be out for one month.
The 26-year-old is essential to how Steve Cooper wants his squad to perform. Awoniyi was on pace to break the Premier League record for consecutive games scored in at one point during the first three games of the 2023–24 season.
His injury occurs just as Forest is trying to put together a stable lineup. The Reds will thus be hoping that the fact that he has been seen walking on grass again is good news about his injury.
Awoniyi spotted back in training
Although it appears that the player has not yet resumed full contact training, this is unquestionably a positive development. Cooper will be eager for Awoniyi to return as soon as possible because he is an essential member of the Forest team.
Awoniyi may be seen clearly running alongside the action in a recent club video that shows a training session behind the scenes. It’s a good move in the right direction, and maybe he can pick up where he left off shortly.
Awoniyi’s game is all-action, but since joining Forest, he has developed a few aches and pains. The Reds will be hoping that this time is different because the team’s performance has fallen off when he hasn’t played.
Forest well-stocked but they need Awoniyi back
Two players were brought in to support Awoniyi: Chris Wood and Divock Origi. Although the Nigerian will be the club’s top scorer, Cooper has options right now.
However, the guy who Steve Hodge described as “extraordinary” earlier this season is a huge asset to Forest. He is a player without mercy and has often shown that he can find the goal.
Despite his most recent setback due to injury, Awoniyi is certainly making significant progress. The striker should soon be back on the field at the Garibaldi and harassing defenders in the Premier League.
