The absence of the powerful forward was felt deeply by Forest, with the team struggling at times to find consistent goal-scoring options. His return to training marks the end of a carefully managed recovery process by the club\u2019s medical team.<\/p><div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_82_2 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/247newsvibes.com\/category\/news\/taiwo-awoniyi-returns-to-full-training\/#_Injury_Setback_and_Road_to_Recovery\" >\u00a0Injury Setback and Road to Recovery<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/247newsvibes.com\/category\/news\/taiwo-awoniyi-returns-to-full-training\/#What_Awoniyis_Return_Means_for_Nottingham_Forest\" >What Awoniyi\u2019s Return Means for Nottingham Forest<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/247newsvibes.com\/category\/news\/taiwo-awoniyi-returns-to-full-training\/#_Performance_Highlights_Before_the_Injury\" >\u00a0Performance Highlights Before the Injury<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/247newsvibes.com\/category\/news\/taiwo-awoniyi-returns-to-full-training\/#_Fan_Reactions_and_Team_Morale\" >\u00a0Fan Reactions and Team Morale<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/247newsvibes.com\/category\/news\/taiwo-awoniyi-returns-to-full-training\/#_Whats_Next_for_Awoniyi_and_Forest\" >\u00a0What\u2019s Next for Awoniyi and Forest<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n\n<h3 data-start=\"1481\" data-end=\"1541\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Awoniyis_Return_Means_for_Nottingham_Forest\"><\/span><strong data-start=\"1485\" data-end=\"1541\">What Awoniyi\u2019s Return Means for Nottingham Forest<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"1543\" data-end=\"1865\">Awoniyi\u2019s comeback is timely for manager Nuno Esp\u00edrito Santo, who now has added firepower up front. Known for his strength, pace, and ability to hold the ball under pressure, Awoniyi will be crucial in Forest\u2019s efforts to push up the table this season. His chemistry with fellow attackers could reshape Forest&#8217;s frontline.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"1872\" data-end=\"1923\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"_Performance_Highlights_Before_the_Injury\"><\/span><strong data-start=\"1876\" data-end=\"1923\">\u00a0Performance Highlights Before the Injury<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"1925\" data-end=\"2233\">Before his injury, Awoniyi had shown flashes of brilliance. He scored crucial goals and provided physical presence in key fixtures. His performances against top-six teams last season stood out, proving he can compete at the highest level. Forest fans will be eager to see if he can pick up where he left off.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"2240\" data-end=\"2280\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"_Fan_Reactions_and_Team_Morale\"><\/span><strong data-start=\"2244\" data-end=\"2280\">\u00a0Fan Reactions and Team Morale<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"2282\" data-end=\"2564\">The return of the Nigerian star has been met with excitement on social media, with fans and teammates alike expressing optimism. Awoniyi\u2019s presence in training has lifted morale in the camp and brought renewed confidence heading into pre-season friendlies and early league fixtures.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"2571\" data-end=\"2616\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"_Whats_Next_for_Awoniyi_and_Forest\"><\/span><strong data-start=\"2575\" data-end=\"2616\">\u00a0What\u2019s Next for Awoniyi and Forest<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"2618\" data-end=\"2940\">As Awoniyi regains full match fitness, he is expected to feature in upcoming friendlies and be part of Forest\u2019s opening squad for the Premier League. If he can stay injury-free, the 2025\/26 season could be a breakout year for the 26-year-old striker, who is looking to cement his place as one of the league\u2019s top forwards.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p> <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/247newsvibes.com\/category\/news\/taiwo-awoniyi-returns-to-full-training\/\" title=\"Taiwo Awoniyi Returns to Full Training: Boost for Nottingham Forest Ahead of New Season\"><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":22,"featured_media":11328,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"yst_prominent_words":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-11327","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-sports"},"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/247newsvibes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Taiwo-Adeniyi.jpeg?fit=739%2C415&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/247newsvibes.com\/category\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11327","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/247newsvibes.com\/category\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/247newsvibes.com\/category\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/247newsvibes.com\/category\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/22"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/247newsvibes.com\/category\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11327"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/247newsvibes.com\/category\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11327\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":11329,"href":"https:\/\/247newsvibes.com\/category\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11327\/revisions\/11329"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/247newsvibes.com\/category\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/11328"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/247newsvibes.com\/category\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11327"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/247newsvibes.com\/category\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11327"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/247newsvibes.com\/category\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11327"},{"taxonomy":"yst_prominent_words","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/247newsvibes.com\/category\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/yst_prominent_words?post=11327"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
