Taiwo Awoniyi Returns to Full Training After Abdominal Injury surgery

Nottingham Forest striker and Nigeria international Taiwo Awoniyi has resumed full training after making a full recovery from a serious abdominal injury sustained in May.

The 27-year-old was sidelined after suffering a ruptured intestine, which required a complex two-stage surgical operation. According to earlier reports, the first procedure was followed by an induced coma to allow doctors to monitor his condition closely. The second surgery, aimed at closing the wound, was successfully completed three days later.

After a difficult period of rehabilitation, Awoniyi has now rejoined his Nottingham Forest teammates on the training pitch for the first time in two months.

Confirming his return, Soar Super Eagles posted on X (formerly Twitter) on Tuesday: “Taiwo Awoniyi returns to full training after that serious abdominal injury in May. Great to see him back on the grass.”

His return comes as a major boost for both Nottingham Forest and the Nigerian national team, with the new season and international fixtures on the horizon.
