Osimhen sends message to injured Awoniyi

Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen has extended his prayers to Nottingham Forest star Taiwo Awoniyi after he was placed in an induced coma after surgery.

The Nigeria international, 27, collided with the post in the 88th minute of the 2-2 draw against Leicester at the City Ground on Sunday as he attempted to get on the end of a cross from Anthony Elanga.

He had surgery on Monday night and remains in hospital, with the rest of the procedure set to be completed on Wednesday.

In his message to Awoniyi, Osimhen via his official X wrote: “Payers up for you my brother. God will never leave you.”
