Nottingham Forest manager Nuno Espirito Santo has revealed Taiwo Awoniyi is in good state after the forward sustained an injury in Tuesday night’s Emirates FA Cup clash with Exeter.
Awoniyi scored Forest’s second goal of the game before the break.
The goal was the 27-year-old’s second goal across all competitions for the Tricky Trees this season.
The Nigeria international was replaced by Chris Wood late in the second half after sustaining a broken nose following a nasty collision with Exeter goalkeeper Joe Whitworth.
Santo also praised the striker for his impressive performance in the game.
“It was a concussion and a broken nose,” the Portuguese said after the game.
“He was in a lot of pain. But he has a smile on his face because he scored for us and did an amazing job. We are delighted for him (to get his goal).”
