Nottingham newsfile.co.uk brings you the latest Nottingham Forest news, including an injury update on Taiwo Awoniyi.
Taiwo Awoniyi, a Nottingham Forest striker, has returned to training as he works his way back to full fitness.
The 25-year-old has been out since the beginning of the year after sustaining a groin injury in the 1-0 win over Southampton. Awoniyi, who scored the game-winning goal, was forced off with 20 minutes remaining.
Earlier this month, Reds manager Steve Cooper said of Awoniyi’s progress: “Taiwo Awoniyi is making good progress; he works on the grass and then runs back. He’s not yet on the team and isn’t kicking any balls, but he’s making progress, which is encouraging.”
Awoniyi’s injury has kept him out for 13 games so far, but he appears to be on the mend after posting a photo of himself back on the practice field on Friday. Several players began training at the Nigel Doughty Academy this week, with preparations for Wolves‘ visit to the City Ground next weekend continuing. It is unclear how much he participated in the session.
Brennan Johnson has been ruled out of Wales’ squad with a groin injury, while Serge Aurier was forced off in Ivory Coast’s 3-1 win over Comoros. At this point, the extent of the pair’s injuries is unknown.
