Taiwo Awoniyi remains under home confinement following his emergence from a coma.

Hear ye, hear ye! It's Nottingham Forest's star striker, Taiwo Awoniyi, who's been making quite a stir lately. The lad's had a bit of a brush with danger following a gnarly tussle with the post during a 2:2 Premier League draw against Leicester City.

According to the latest goss, he's out of his medically induced coma and is hunkering down in the hospital recovering. As reported by the Juice, that's what we here at the Sun call the news folks, Awoniyi's undergone a couple of operations and is engage in a dance with thedocs—all to ensure his recovery.

"Fortunately, the operation went well, he's being watched over, but he's recuperatin'." Said Nuno Espirito Santo, Forest's manager, in his best Portuguese drawl. "Awoniyi, remember him? Nah, just kiddin', buddy's pretty famous."

Now, if you recall, Awoniyi took a knock on Sunday, colliding with the post. He underwent emergency surgery then, and as per BBC, he suffered a bowel rupture. But don't you worry, the lad's awake now and commu'natin' with his family. Yet, he isn't ready for visits 'cause the docs ain't granted the rights quite yet.

"We're worrried, no doubt, but it's all lemme tell ya, positive." Espirito Santo confided. "It's been one rough ride, what with the damage he sustained and the whole situation he's ended up in...It ain't been a picnic."

The mishap came about as Awoniyi went for a cross, ended up lettin' the post have a little too much of a say. The 27-year-old had a late substitution, comin' in at the 83rd minute and almost instantaneously injurin' himself. Post-game, there were some heated scenes as club owner Evangelos Marinakis took exception to the medical team's judgment. Marinakis stormed onto the pitch and faced off with Santo. C'mon now! All's well that ends well, even if it's a tad dramatic, huh?

The club later released a statement, expressin' their shared frustration over the medical team's decision to let Awoniyi play. Kudos to 'em for showin' concern, though. That's the spirit, folks!

Here's to hopin' that our boy Awoniyi makes a full recovery and gets back to grindin' with the boys before long. We're lookin' forward to cheerin' him on in the season finale!
