Nuno Espirito Santo has revealed one thing about Taiwo Awoniyi’s injury incident that he would do differently.
Nottingham Forest head coach Nuno Espirito Santo expressed hope that Taiwo Awoniyi will be able to attend the final game of the season against Chelsea.
Awoniyi was hospitalised after sustaining a serious injury from colliding with the post during a match against Leicester City on Sunday, which the Tricky Trees drew 2-2.
Initially treated on the pitch, he later underwent surgery and was placed in a medical coma, though he is now awake and recovering.

What Nuno said about Awoniyi
Nuno described the situation as "very difficult" for the team and the player’s family, acknowledging miscommunication regarding Awoniyi's condition during the match.
“He went to surgery, surgery went well, thank God,” Nuno said in Friday's press conference.
“He is under observation now, but he is recovering. We still have to wait for the doctors to allow visits (beyond immediate family). His family are there with him. We are concerned but it is positive.
