Satazaa:
Dunno why Arteta and the arsenal hierarchy are not interested in VO, with the enormous amount of convertible chances arsenal players like Saka, Rice and Ordegard creates at arsenal he will easily hit 30 plus goals if they sign him and coupled with the fact that he is a childhood arsenal fan. There is also the odd chance that RM may consider him and ship away Rodrigo paving way for vicious, osihmen and Mbappe attacking line and boy that will be fearsome.

Was this a mistake that Jagaban appointed someone with passion? I never see before.

So them they induce person to coma? Na wa o

Nottingham Forest striker Taiwo Awoniyi is in an induced coma after having the first phase of surgery on a serious abdominal injury.

The Nigeria international, 27, collided with the post in the 88th minute of the 2-2 draw against Leicester at the City Ground on Sunday as he attempted to get on the end of a cross from Anthony Elanga.

He had surgery on Monday night and remains in hospital, with the rest of the procedure set to be completed on Wednesday.

In a statement earlier on Tuesday, Forest said Awoniyi was "recovering well" following the operation.

After the incident on Sunday, he received treatment on the pitch and was able to continue but was visibly struggling when the match restarted.

Awoniyi, who joined Forest from Union Berlin in June 2022, had only been on the pitch for five minutes, having come on as a late substitute for Ibrahim Sangare.

Owner Evangelos Marinakis took to the field after the game to express his concern to manager Nuno Espirito Santo over how Awoniyi's injury was handled.

Marinakis is being kept updated on the forward's condition.

Nigeria held their nerve to secure a place in the semi-finals of the TotalEnergies CAF U20 Africa Cup of Nations Egypt 2025, defeating defending champions Senegal 3-1 on penalties after a goalless draw in regulation and extra time at the Suez Canal Stadium on Monday.

The West African giants renewed their fierce rivalry in a tense quarter-final that saw both sides create scoring chances, but ultimately fail to break the deadlock in 120 minutes of action.

Nigeria, unbeaten in the group stages, maintained their composure in the shootout with spot kicks expertly converted by Precious Benjamin, Emmanuel Chukwu and Israel Ayuma. Senegal, by contrast, faltered under pressure — Pierre Dorival’s effort was saved, Mame Mor Faye's was denied, and Ousmane Konaté crashed his attempt off the crossbar.

Seydi Diouck netted Senegal’s only penalty, but it was not enough to prevent the reigning champions from exiting the tournament.

The result marks Nigeria’s eighth successive quarter-final win at the U20 AFCON under the current format. They now advance to the semi-finals, where they will look to maintain their record of never losing a quarter-final tie in this competition.

Despite the final scoreline, both sides had moments where they could have clinched victory in open play. Nigeria’s Kparobo Arierhi and Divine Oliseh each forced saves from Senegal keeper Mouhamed Sissokho, while Senegal’s Cheikh Thiam came agonisingly close in the 42nd minute with a header that rattled the post.

As the match wore on, fatigue set in but the determination from both camps never wavered. Nigeria’s tactical substitutions — including the introduction of Precious Benjamin and Rickson Mendos — added attacking impetus late on, while Senegal reshuffled to find a breakthrough with the likes of Seydi Diouck and Mame Mor Faye.

Extra time saw Nigeria press with renewed energy. Tahir Maigana's curling strike in the 106th minute drew a fine stop from Sissokho, while Israel Ayuma's long-range effort two minutes later also required intervention. Yet, despite Nigeria’s dominance in the closing stages, the deadlock remained.

Nigeria’s goalkeeper Ebenezer Harcourt, who had gone largely untested in the shootout, emerged as a quiet hero. His save against Mame Mor Faye’s spot kick proved pivotal in tilting the balance.

Senegal, who came into the tie with a strong defensive record and ambitions to retain their crown, were ultimately undone by Nigeria’s discipline and precision in the decisive moments. The result also marked their first loss in a knockout match since 2017.

Post-match, Nigeria head coach Ladan Bosso praised his side’s resilience. “We prepared for all scenarios, including penalties. I’m proud of the boys for executing under pressure,” he said.

With this result, Nigeria move one step closer to a record-extending eighth U20 AFCON title, while Senegal will now reflect on what could have been after a hard-fought campaign.
