With his move from Union Berlin to Nottingham last season, Awoniyi has shown himself to be a prolific goalscorer for the team. Out of 44 games, he has 16 goals and 4 assists for the Tricky Trees.
But his fitness has been his main issue. With injuries, Awoniyi has had a difficult time since joining Nottingham. The 26-year-old striker has missed 27 Nottingham Forest games thus far. He had to have surgery even in the middle of the season, and he didn’t return until late January.
The Nigerian international played nine games before being hurt right before the international break. Nottingham Forest has not yet disclosed how long the player would be out. There are worries that he might be out for a few weeks, though.
