Nottingham Forest striker Taiwo Awoniyi is back in full training after recovering from a serious abdominal injury that sidelined him since May.

The 27-year-old Nigeria international suffered a ruptured intestine, which required a complex two-stage surgical procedure and a period in an induced coma for close medical observation.

According to reports, the second surgery to close the wound was successfully completed three days after the initial operation.

Awoniyi has now rejoined his teammates on the training pitch for the first time in over two months, marking a significant milestone in his recovery.

A post from Soar Super Eagles on Tuesday confirmed his return, writing on X: “Taiwo Awoniyi returns to full training after that serious abdominal injury in May. Great to see him back on the grass.”
