NOTTINGHAM Forest manager Nuno Espirito Santo has now given a cheering update on the broken nose Awoniyi suffered in the Tricky Trees’ Emirates FA Cup win over Exeter City during the week.
The Nigerian points man was excluded from the club’s 2-1 defeat they suffered at the hands of fellow compatriots – Bassey and Iwobi’s Fulham on Saturday.
Taiwo’s club Manager is hopeful the powerful striker will be fit for their next important game against Newcastle United.
According to him: “We didn’t have the clearance from the Premier League about the concussion protocols, so he was not able to go in the squad.
“He is feeling fine, it is about making sure we follow the protocol. He was okay, but we have to respect the protocols.”
