In the 36th round of the Premier League held on May 11, Nottingham Forest drew 2-2 at home with Leicester City. Forest forward Avoniyi hit the post while fighting back and grabbing the spot, causing a serious abdominal injury.

Avoniyi's serious injury stems from an obvious offside attack, and the lineman delayed raising the flag. After receiving treatment from the team doctor, Avoniy briefly got up and lay down on the ground, but he was not replaced and returned to the court after communicating with the team doctor. After returning to the court, Avoniyi had to jog with about 6 minutes left in stoppage time, and from time to time, he fell to the ground after the final whistle.

Today, Nottingham Forest officially confirmed that Avoniyi successfully completed the emergency surgery. According to the Post, Avoniyi was in a coma after the operation and was undergoing intensive care treatment and may be in danger of life.
