Doubtful to play this weekend Nottingham manager Steve Copper said the medical staff is managing Awoniyi's injury situation, and it's uncertain whether he'll be available to play against Aston Villa on Sunday.... Impact Copper didn't provide too many details regarding the injury, other than saying it's an injury from last season that aggravated of late, and it's uncertain whether he'll need surgery down the road. Either way, losing Awoniyi for an extended stretch would represent a big blow for Nottingham since he's been the team's most prolific striker by a wide margin. He has three goals and two assists across eight appearances (six starts) in 2023/24. If he can't go Sunday, then Anthony Elanga might deploy in a more central role, while Andrey Santos could be deployed in a more attacking stance due to the team's lack of depth when it comes to attacking alternatives.
