‘You’re not alone’ - Super Falcons star offers prayers of recovery to Awoniyi after being put to coma

The Nigerian international sustained an injury after crashing into the post in Nottingham Forest's 2-2 draw against Leicester City at the weekend.

Following a severe abdominal injury, the striker was compelled to undergo surgical intervention to address the extensive internal damage sustained.

To facilitate optimal healing and recovery, the medical team decided to place him in a medically induced coma.

Ajibade has wished Awoniyi a speedy recovery and has urged Nigerians to say a word of prayer for the Super Eagles star.

She wrote on her official X account, “Our hearts are heavy as we hold Taiwo Awoniyi in our prayers. Just days ago, he shared his light and strength with us on the Rash 4 Christ podcast. 

“Now, as he fights in this difficult moment, we stand with him and his family in faith and hope. God is with you, Taiwo. You’re not alone 🙏🏾. Please say a prayer for Taiwo Awoniyi and his family.”

Awoniyi has played 32 times for Nottingham Forest across all competitions this season, contributing two goals for the East Midlands team.
