Taiwo Awoniyi Injuries

'The ones who aren’t [available] are Taiwo (Awoniyi), (Chris) Wood and Douglas (Luiz), but he’s getting closer.' 'Taiwo is on the grass and doing well...'

'The Club can confirm Taiwo Awoniyi has undergone urgent surgery following an abdominal injury sustained during Sunday's match against Leicester City.' 'The surgery went well... he's under observation now, but I think he's recovering. We have to wait for the doctors to allow visits - his family are there - we are concerned, but we are positive.' 'He is much better. Already been able to walk. [The] Doctor informed [me that] he is starting his normal life in terms of eating his food, so he is doing much better.'

'He felt his hamstring in the [MUFC] game... When I spoke to you on Thursday, I already knew. I am sorry I didn’t tell you. We are going to have to assess day by day, him and Chris (Wood), to see if they can help us in the next one.' 'They were not with the group and are still carrying some problems. We have to assess them. It is going to be day by day.'

'It was a concussion, and I think he broke his nose,' revealed Nuno post-match. He is in a lot of pain but has a smile on his face because he scored for us, which we were delighted about. He has already been checked and is OK to travel [back home].' 'He broke his nose, so he is in pain and is with the medical dept. We are waiting for the right protocols to be followed. It is a concussion, so we have to be really careful. He looks OK [but it can] take two or three days to settle down and see if he is going to be OK.'

'It is a serious injury, unfortunately. It is a big blow for us because he had just come back. I don't know exactly how long he will be out, but I am positive we are going to see him again this season.' 'Taiwo hasn't [fully] joined the group yet. He is still partially integrated.' 'Let's see how he is. Definitely, Taiwo gives us another option as a striker. Let's see if he can join the group this week.' 'He joined the team today [in training]. He had good feelings. We still have to wait for tomorrow to see how he goes, and if he feels OK, I think he can help.'

'He's done that once before here, and I'm sure he will give everything again like he did last time. We'll definitely see him again this season, but it's groin surgery, so it will take a little while.' 'Taiwo is the obvious long-term one. He is going well, but he is a long, long way from being back-involved in games.' 'The last information we had is that he is progressing. He is already training on the pitch, doing some individual work. Hopefully, in two weeks' time, he can start joining the group, and then it's about how he feels with his fitness levels.' 'Taiwo is improving. He is already on the pitch on the individual sessions, stronger on the fitness aspect, trying to elevate his levels. I still think a couple of weeks before he joins the group.' 'Taiwo is in the process of recovering and getting the fitness levels right. It was our decision to bring them to the group. Instead of waiting for them to be 100 per cent ready, we decided to bring them in, and after that, we will decide.'

'It's not been as simple as he's back training and he's fully fit. It's something that is going to be a managing process for a little bit of time now. We'll see if he is available for the weekend. We hope he is, but it could go either way.'

'He's picked up a groin injury in the last game that will probably rule him out for a month.' 'He's progressing well, he's not far off some training, to be honest, so let's see how next week goes.'

'Moussa (Niakhate) is just about returning to training, and so is Taiwo (Awoniyi), so the game probably comes too soon for them.'

'Taiwo also took a real bang to his shoulder too, so these are all things we have to consider ahead of Saturday.'

'A couple of the lads walked off yesterday with some fatigue. We'll have to look at Taiwo, for example, and see how he is. It's too soon to see if there is anything worse than fatigue.' 'Taiwo didn't make it for this one. We're working away with him for the weekend. We've got our fingers crossed on that one.' 'It is difficult to give a real-time on it. He has been a little bit up and down with it from one day to the next, on the injury settling down and getting into rehab. Hopefully, we can get a breakthrough soon.' 'I can't give you a date on Taiwo, but I know he's progressing really well. Maybe in a couple of weeks, I'll have a bit more information.' 'Taiwo is making good progress. He is out on the grass, and he's running. He's not with the team yet and not kicking any balls, but he's still weeks away from being close to training. But he is making good steps.' 'He is back now; he looks sharp, motivated and excited to be involved again. We will have to be careful with him, but it is good to have him back involved.'
