NOTTINGHAM (INGHILTERRA) (ITALPRESS) – He crashed into the pole trying to deflect Anthony Elanga’s cross into the net, kept playing, but took a big risk. Fortunately, the worst was avoided after abdominal surgery to which Taiwo Awoniyi, the Nottingham Forest striker who underwent emergency surgery yesterday after the injury he sustained in Sunday’s 2-2 draw against Leicester, was subjected.
According to the Daily Mail, this very incident led to a discussion on the pitch between coach Nuno Espirito Santo and owner Evangelos Marinakis with the latter reportedly blaming the coach for the management of Awoniyi, who returned to the pitch after treatment by the medical staff and after the last substitution had also been made.
“Unfortunately, we had to play the last 10 minutes with a man down. Taiwo tried, but the pain was too much, there was a misunderstanding between the technical and medical staff,” Espirito Santo admitted. The injury then required surgery.
