Big Boost for Jose Peseiro: Super Eagles star hits the field ahead of AFCON

The Super Eagles star previously withdrew from the Super Eagles squad during the 2026 World Cup qualification tie.

Nottingham Forest forward, Taiwo Awoniyi, who was side-lined due to a groin issue, has been spotted hitting the grass, Soccernet.ng reports.

The Nigerian forward withdrew from the Super Eagles squad during the World Cup qualifiers and faced concerns at City Ground due to a recent injury setback.

Missing key matches for Steve Cooper’s side heightened worries among Nigerian football supporters ahead of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.

However, a video showing Awoniyi training on the field indicates his readiness for a comeback, aligning with Nottingham’s busy schedule and Nigeria’s AFCON campaign.
