Don’t get me wrong, I am selfishly hoping he doesn’t take part in the AFCoN, but I could see him being called up, if the premise above is true.
Nearly creamed myself'two weeks'
The op was supposed to 'fix' his ongoing issues with his groin. Having the op was a bit of a final option if it couldn't be managed.I'll believe it when I see it. Just hope he lasts for more than half a dozen games when he does return.
I'm no Yates fan but that's not true. He started at Stamford Bridge.Not won a game this season without him. Sooner we can get him back the better.
Also not won a game that Yates has started. I’m a Yates fan but that is a weird stat
Bugger, missed that one. You’re right, just checked againI'm no Yates fan but that's not true. He started at Stamford Bridge.
They have probably assumed he is injured and won't be selected.There's a draft squad with 40 players. Awoniyi isn't in it, so it would be a surprise to see him selected now.
Dennis is in the 40.

Can't see it myself. If he's playing in Jan/Feb, it'll be because we are rushing him back again IMO.I'm thinking he will be back by end of Jan.

Give him time to recover properly this time I say.
Even you add time to that it looks like an earlier return is probable.Forest continue to miss Taiwo Awoniyi. He is back in light training and making rapid progress, and is expected to be two to three weeks away from a return. Forest will be stronger when they have their first-choice forward available.
I'll still believe it when I see it personally.There was a Tails piece on the Athletic that says he will be back sooner
