Published on: 23 February 2025

Nottingham Forest striker, Taiwo Awoniyi has been declared fit for Sunday's Premier League match at Newcastle United, Nigeriasoccernet.com reports.

Awoniyi missed last weekend's game against Fulham due to a head injury, but has now been cleared to face Newcastle away at St James' Park.

The 27-year-old will have to wear a protective mask during the match, but manager Nuno Espirito Santo said Awoniyi has been given the all-clear after passing concussion protocols.

"Yes, it is clear on the concussion protocol," Santo told reporters on Friday. "So, he is available."
