Reds: Talk of confrontation is 'fake news'

NOTTINGHAM Forest say the seriousness of Taiwo Awoniyi's injury validates owner Evangelos Marinakis storming on to the pitch following the 2-2 draw with Leicester City.
-
Awoniyi underwent urgent surgery on a serious abdominal injury suffered after he crashed into the post in the final 10 minutes on Sunday.
He stayed on the pitch after being given the all-clear by medical staff but could barely move.
Marinakis was seen remonstrating with head coach Nuno Espirito Santo after the game, with the Greek businessman furious his injured player was allowed to continue.
A club statement read:
“Nottingham Forest can confirm that Taiwo Awoniyi is recovering well so far following urgent surgery on a serious abdominal injury sustained during Sunday's match against Leicester City.
“At Nottingham Forest, this principle is not just policy for us; it is the deeply held belief and conviction of our owner.
