Santo claims that Awoniyi is still in the hospital undergoing recovery after being put into an induced coma as a result of his emergency abdominal surgery.
While playing in Sunday’s 2-2 tie with Leicester City, Awoniyi collided with the post, causing him to rupture his intestine.
Despite obvious discomfort, the Super Eagles attacker attempted to continue playing while being treated on the pitch.
On Monday night, following more inspections by Forest’s medical personnel, he was finally admitted to the hospital. Right now, he’s being watched. He is doing better now.

The doctors’ approval of visits is still pending. He has relatives present. We remain optimistic despite our concerns.
His wounds and the ordeal he endured are important considerations. The situation has been challenging for us,” Santo stated at a news conference on Friday.
