Nottingham Forest manager Nuno Espirito Santo has delivered a positive update on Nigeria international Taiwo Awoniyi, who was placed in an induced coma following urgent surgery on an abdominal injury.
The Super Eagles striker was rushed to the hospital on Monday after colliding with a post during a 2-2 draw against Leicester City at the City ground on Sunday.
"He went to surgery, surgery went well, thank God," Nuno said. "He is under observation now, but he is recovering. We still have to wait for the doctors to allow visits.
"We are concerned, but it is positive. It has been very difficult because of the concern of the injury, the situation he went through."
He added: "It's been very difficult, very difficult on us and on everybody, the concern of the injury that he had, the situation that he entered through, it's been hard on us."
