Nottingham Forest boss Nuno Espirito Santo says Taiwo Awoniyi’s outlook is “positive” after he was in an induced coma following emergency surgery on an abdominal surgery.

Awoniyi had two operations to repair serious internal damage after he collided with a post during Sunday’s 2-2 with Leicester and was kept unconscious in order to aid his recovery.
