Taiwo Awoniyi: Ola Aina believes that the flag could have prevented injuries outside the side

Ola Aina, defender of Nottingham Forest, said the injury that team -mate Taiwo Awoniyi was put into an induced coma could have been avoided if the offside flag had increased in good time.

The incident in question occurred in the final phase of the 2-2 draw by Forest against Leicester City, where Awoniyi rattled against the post. The striker ended the game, even though he had considerable pain, and Sources informed ESPN that he was later subjected to an “urgent” operation due to a belly injury and was put into a coma to support recovery.

Awoniyi collided with the position to get Anthony Elanga at the end of an intersection. The wing player had passed out of the structure, but according to the protocol, the Assistant referee only raised his flag when the game was finished.

“Anthony was Miles offside. The whole world could see and I could also where I was,” Aina told the Daily Mail.

“You think 'apart' immediately. Certainly you could just raise the flag?

“A simple decision and continue the game [Awoniyi] If the flag had just increased, would it be? “

After the game, the forest owner Evangelos Marinakis stormed onto the field and reacted with manager Nuno Espirito Santo. Forest later published an explanation in which it was explained that the owner's emotional reaction is due to the fact that Awoniyi saw immense pain and his frustration about the medical staff to continue the game.
