Afterward, he said that he felt “soreness in the groin”, but added that he was fine.

The 25-year-old has not been included in a matchday squad since then.

Foot Mercato journalist Santi Aouna reports that Awoniyi will be out of action “for some months.”

Nottingham Forest is ready to make a move to another striker this window and talks have advanced with Newcastle United’s Chris Wood.
