Taiwo Awoniyi suffered a serious abdominal injury, requiring urgent surgery, after colliding with the post during Nottingham Forestâs draw with Leicester City. Ola Aina, Awoniyi's teammate, believes that an earlier offside flag could have averted the injury, as Anthony Elanga was clearly offside before the play developed. Aina expressed his distress over Awoniyi's situation and emphasized that the injury could have been avoided with a more decisive officiating decision. Nottingham Forest is currently in pursuit of Champions League qualification yet struggling, falling behind after failing to win their last five matches.
Awoniyi collided with the post towards the end of Forest's 2-2 draw with Leicester City, following a delayed offside flag that led to his injury.
Ola Aina stated, 'You think 'offside' straight away. Surely you could just lift the flag up? None of this would have happened to 'T' if the flag had just gone up.'
