Kehinde and Taiwo Awoniyi |
In a heartbreaking turn of events, Kehinde Awoniyi, twin sister of Super Eagles striker Taiwo Awoniyi, remains a pillar of strength as her brother fights for his life in an induced coma.
The unbreakable bond between the siblings has been tested like never before following Taiwo’s emergency surgery after a severe abdominal injury sustained during Nottingham Forest’s recent Premier League match.
Despite her own commitments and marriage, Kehinde has stayed close to the football star, offering silent support amid the storm.
Family members and fans are deeply concerned about how Kehinde is coping with the emotional weight of her brother’s critical condition, but those close to her say her resilience mirrors the determination Taiwo shows on the pitch.
Taiwo Awoniyi, 27, was rushed to hospital after colliding with the goalpost during the 88th minute of Nottingham Forest’s 2-2 draw with Leicester City.
Diagnosed with a ruptured intestine, he underwent urgent surgery and was placed in an induced coma to aid his recovery.
As the football community rallies behind the striker, prayers and messages of support have flooded in from across Nigeria, with many highlighting the touching connection between the twins.
Meanwhile, Awoniyi’s club confirmed he is recovering well under intensive care, with the coma helping to stabilize his condition by restricting movement and supporting ventilation during healing.
Nottingham Forest emphasized the player’s welfare as their top priority, with club owner Evangelos Marinakis expressing deep concern over the incident.
Support has also poured in from across Nigeria, including prayers from the Kwara Kiddies League and local market women who have praised Awoniyi’s generosity and commitment to grassroots football.
The Nigeria Football Federation also sent heartfelt wishes for his speedy recovery.
As Awoniyi fights for his health, the football community holds onto hope, inspired by his resilience and the unwavering support of his family, especially his devoted twin sister Kehinde
Kehinde’s quiet courage has become a beacon of hope for fans and family alike, reminding every one of the power of family bonds in times of adversity.
