Taiwo Awoniyi was left in an induced coma because of an incident that should have never been allowed to play out.
The Nottingham Forest striker suffered a life-threatening abdominal injury when he collided with the post in Sunday’s 2-2 draw with Leicester. It was the 88th minute, with the score level, and he had gone hell for leather trying to latch onto Anthony Elanga’s ball across for a tap-in winner – understandable, given the fact a goal at that stage could have delivered Forest a seismic three points in their push for Champions League football.
