Nottingham Forest striker and Nigerian international Taiwo Awoniyi has resumed training after recovering from a severe abdominal injury he sustained in May 2025.
The 27-year-old forward had been out of action due to a ruptured intestine, which necessitated a two-phase surgical operation.
The initial phase of the surgery was performed, followed by an induced coma to enable medical professionals to monitor his condition closely.
The second phase of the surgery, which involved closing the incision, was completed on the third day.
After a challenging recovery phase, Awoniyi has rejoined his teammates for training for the first time since May.
A post from Soar Super Eagles on Tuesday via X announced his comeback, stating, “Taiwo Awoniyi returns to full training after his serious abdominal injury in May. It’s great to see him back on the pitch.”
Awoniyi’s recovery will be good news for both Nottingham Forest and the Super Eagles as the new season is on the horizon.
