Doctors Disclose How Much Danger Taiwo Awoniyi Was In Before Emergency Surgery





Taiwo Awoniyi suffered a ruptured intestine after colliding with the goal post during a match against Leicester City Medical experts say his injury was very severe which prompted an emergency operation on Monday The Super Eagles striker is now recovering after undergoing complex, multi-stage surgery.

Taiwo Awoniyi narrowly escaped death after suffering a ruptured intestine during Nottingham Forest’s 2-2 draw with Leicester City on Sunday. The 27-year-old Nigerian striker collided stomach-first with the goalpost while chasing a ball, an impact that initially looked manageable but later proved too costly for the player. 

Despite trying to play on, Awoniyi was eventually substituted and placed in an induced coma for emergency surgery on Tuesday. Reports from the Daily Mail confirmed the Super Eagles striker sustained a gastrointestinal perforation, a rare but life-threatening injury. Doctors reveal how dangerous Awoniyi's condition was Dr. Gareth Nye, a senior lecturer at the University of Salford, shed light on the seriousness of the injury suffered by Awoniyi during Sunday’s Premier League game. 

Dr Nye stated that such an intestinal rupture can lead to sepsis and carries up to a 50% mortality rate if not treated urgently, Daily STAR reports. “In essence, stomach acid, enzymes, and bacteria are released into the abdominal cavity, where they can rapidly cause widespread infection,” Dr. Nye explained. “One of the more serious complications from this condition is sepsis, and GI perforation is always an emergency situation. “In essence you have undigested food, stomach acid, enzymes designed to breakdown tissue and bacteria from inside your intestines, suddenly having free reign around your abdominal pelvic region, which has huge consequences to the patient.” 

“Because of this, risk of death can be as high as 50%.” he added. The standard procedure involves removing damaged tissue, cleaning the affected area, and potentially inserting a temporary colostomy bag to allow the intestines to heal.  Thankfully, Nottingham Forest confirmed that Awoniyi underwent a successful emergency surgery on Monday and is “recovering well so far.” 

The procedure was reported to be multi-staged, with additional medical steps taken on Wednesday to stabilise the Nigerian forward’s condition. A club statement said Awoniyi’s ordeal is a powerful reminder of the physical risks in football and why a player's health and well-being must always come first. 

Forest were unable to immediately substitute Awoniyi as they had used up all their available changes, forcing the team to finish the game with 10 men. A long road to recovery for Awoniyi While Awoniyi is now stable, the path to full recovery may take weeks or months, depending on how his body responds to treatment.
