Striker Taiwo Awoniyi is “looking sharp” as he edges towards his Nottingham Forest comeback.
The 25-year-old has been sidelined with a groin problem for almost three months, having been forced off in the Reds’ 1-0 victory at Southampton in January. He is now back in full training, which comes as a welcome boost for head coach Steve Cooper as the Welshman continues to deal with a significant number of absentees.
The latest name added to the injury list is front man Chris Wood, who has been ruled out for the rest of the season with a thigh issue. That makes Awoniyi’s progress particularly well-timed, especially as Andre Ayew and Brennan Johnson are both doubts for Saturday’s clash with Wolverhampton Wanderers.
