Nottingham Forest and Super Eagles striker Taiwo Awoniyi has resumed full training after recovering from a serious abdominal injury sustained in May.

The 27-year-old was sidelined for weeks after suffering a ruptured intestine that required a complex two-stage surgical procedure. The initial operation was followed by an induced coma to aid his recovery, while the second phase wound closure was successfully completed three days later.

After a lengthy and challenging recovery, Awoniyi has now rejoined his teammates on the training pitch for the first time in over two months.

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

His return is a timely boost for both Nottingham Forest and Nigeria ahead of the upcoming season.
