Akani Simbine Warns Noah Lyles and Kishane Thompson After South Africa's World Relays Win
Akani Simbine anchored South Africa's 4 x 100m relay team into clinching the World Athletics Relays gold in China.
Having only just entered the pitch five minutes earlier as a substitute for Ibrahim Sangare, Awoniyi received treatment but was allowed to continue despite appearing to be in considerable discomfort.
“The club can confirm Taiwo Awoniyi has undergone urgent surgery following an abdominal injury sustained during Sunday's match against Leicester City,” read a statement from Nottingham Forest.
“Everyone at Nottingham Forest sends their best wishes to Taiwo. The club will provide further updates when appropriate.”
3. Collision That Sparked Concern
The moment Awoniyi collided with the post left spectators and players concerned. While he got back on his feet after receiving treatment from medical staff, it was evident to many watching that the striker was not at full capacity. His movement was limited, and he appeared to be grimacing with every step.

What initially looked like a minor knock quickly escalated into a far more serious issue, with the club confirming a need for surgery just a day later. The urgency of the procedure raised further questions about why the striker was allowed to play on at all, even for the final minutes of the game.
The lack of immediate substitution following the injury now appears to have been a critical decision, one that may have compounded the issue and drawn scrutiny from the club's leadership and supporters alike.

2. Owner Marinakis Slams Medical Handling
)
Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis publicly criticized the way the injury was handled, using Instagram to express his frustration with the club’s medical team. His comments came after he was seen walking onto the pitch at full-time—an unusual move that sparked speculation.
“Everybody - coaching staff, players, supporters and including myself - we were frustrated around the injury of Taiwo and the medical staff's misjudgement on Taiwo's ability to continue the game,” Marinakis wrote. “This is natural, this is a demonstration of the passion we feel for our club.”
The strong reaction highlighted the growing tension within the club over injury management and decision-making under pressure. Marinakis’ remarks have triggered internal discussions, with expectations that a review of medical protocols may follow.
1. Awoniyi Faces Another Lengthy Layoff
)
The injury is a huge blow for Awoniyi, who has already endured a disrupted campaign due to fitness issues. Since joining Forest from Union Berlin in June 2022, the striker has shown flashes of brilliance but struggled for consistency due to repeated injuries.
Before his move to Germany, Awoniyi spent six years at Liverpool but never made a senior appearance. His Premier League season with Forest has so far yielded just one goal, and this latest setback puts his campaign—and possibly his availability for international duty with Nigeria—in serious doubt.
