Nottingham Forest’s prolific striker Taiwo Awoniyi is gearing up to make a comeback against Arsenal at the City Ground on Tuesday. The Super Eagles player, sidelined since November due to a persistent injury that required surgery, is set to rejoin the squad after a six-week absence.
Awoniyi, who made a stellar start to the season with four goals and two assists in his initial ten Premier League appearances, has been sorely missed during Nottingham Forest’s last twelve games. Coach Espirito Santo, confirming Awoniyi’s return to training, hinted at the possibility of the 26-year-old making the bench for the clash against Arsenal.
Despite missing the recent game against Bristol City due to insufficient fitness, Awoniyi’s imminent return adds a layer of excitement for Nottingham Forest fans. In their previous encounter with Arsenal, Awoniyi, coming off the bench, made a significant impact by finding the back of the net. Coach Espirito Santo is optimistic that the Nigerian striker can replicate his previous success against the Gunners, providing a potential game-changer for the upcoming match.
