Awoniyi set to return against Wolves

Nottingham Forest manager Steve Cooper has provided an update on Super Eagles forward Taiwo Awoniyi’s injury.

The Nigerian attacker has been absent from Cooper’s squad since January due to a groyne injury suffered during their 1-0 loss to Southampton at Saint Mary’s Stadium.

With this, the Nigerian’s impact to the squad started to be felt as he scored in several crucial matches, including the team’s triumph against the Saints in January with a solitary goal.

The Welsh boss said the Nigerian is back in action and getting close to a return.

The 43-year-old stated that he has resumed full training and seemed in excellent form ahead of the Wolverhampton encounter, and the squad may be prepared to feature him going forward.

“He’s back now. He looks sharp. He definitely looks motivated and excited to be involved again.

“We look forward to reintroducing him, whenever that may be.

“We obviously have to be careful with him, because he’s been out for a long while; we have to respect that. It’s just good to have him back on the training ground.” he said.
