Nottingham Forest manager, Nuno Espirito Santo, remains optimistic Taiwo Awoniyi will be fit for the club’s next league game against Newcastle United.

Awoniyi missed the Tricky Trees 2-1 defeat to Fulham at the Craven Cottage on Saturday due to injury.

The Nigeria international broke his nose in Forest’s Emirates FA Cup win over Exeter City in midweek.


Santo said they didn’t get the clearance to include the striker in the squad against Fulham.

“We didn’t have the clearance from the Premier League about the concussion protocols, so he was not able to go in the squad,” he was quoted by the Nottinghampost.

“He is feeling fine, it is about making sure we follow the protocols. He was okay, but we have to respect the protocols.”

Ronaldo names Real Madrid player as his worst-ever teammate

Published

on

Brazil football legend, Ronaldo De Lima, has picked former Real Madrid midfielder, Thomas Gravesen as his worst-ever teammate.

Ronaldo spent five seasons with the LaLiga giants and was a key figure in the club’s Galacticos era.

Gravesen signed for Madrid in a £2.5million move from Everton in January 2005 and went on to make 49 appearances.


The Denmark international played for two seasons alongside Ronaldo.

While Ronaldo has said Gravesen was a “cool guy”, he claimed the former defensive midfielder was “very bad” on the pitch.

In an interview with compatriot Romario, Ronaldo was asked to name the worst player he’d ever played alongside.


He replied: “There are a lot of them. There was one at Real Madrid who was a joke… Gravesen.

“He was a Danish midfielder. He was a really cool guy, good guy. A little while ago he won a $50million poker tournament or something.

“But in football he was very bad, he scored and he beat the hell out of people.”
