EPL: Forest coach, Santo confirms Awoniyi’s injury blow

Nottingham Forest manager, Nuno Espirito Santo has revealed Taiwo Awoniyi is nursing a hamstring injury.

Awoniyi was excluded from Forest’s matchday squad in the 2-1 defeat to Aston Villa at the Villa Park on Saturday night.

Santo revealed after the game that the Nigeria international picked up the injury in Forest’s previous clash with Manchester United.

The gaffer however failed to give a timeline on when the striker will return to action.

“I don’t know [when they’ll be back]. It’s going to be day to day. He [Taiwo Awoniyi] felt something in his hamstring,” Santo said after the clash with Aston Villa.

Awoniyi’s injury is bad news for the Champions League-chasers, who already have Chris Wood struggling with a hip problem sustained while on international duty.
