He was rushed back, DT said his entourage weren’t happy. That’s why a Move may happenI'd like to try to give him benefit of the doubt for his lack of game time. I believe Awoniyi first began struggling with groin issues last season and the club were trying to manage his fitness and appearances because of how important he was, not only as a presence but because of his goal threat.
The groin issues were persistent but Awoniyi tried to plough through it however he had no choice but to have groin surgery in November 2023.
Personally, I think he was rushed back too soon after surgery and that FA Cup game against Bristol City was far too taxing on his body.
Then again, could it be that his natural style is so explosive and physical that he's always going to be susceptible to injury? I just don't know.
