Nottingham Forest are without Taiwo Awoniyi at the moment as he battles back to full fitness.
Under Sean Dyche, he’s been given a bit of a reprieve, and as a result, he will be desperate to get back on the pitch.
Awoniyi was a keen spectator last night as Forest beat Wolves courtesy of an Igor Jesus goal, which came 18 minutes from time.
There were a number of players who didn’t play as well as they could against a dogged Wolves side, yet to win a game this season.
However, a few others did stand out, and Awoniyi has praised one of his teammates after his latest performance.

Taiwo Awoniyi uses one word to describe Omari Hutchinson
The Nigerian centre-forward has struggled with injuries since arriving at Forest in 2022, and ultimately, it’s a real issue of his.
However, he’s not expected to be out long-term with his current issue, and that does bode well for Forest when it comes to options.
After the game last night, he posted the word ‘magic’ on Omari Hutchinson’s post on Instagram, with the record signing earning a first Premier League start for the Reds.
Does Omari Hutchinson deserve a prolonged run in the Forest team?
Hutchinson claimed another assist for the Reds as he swung in an inviting ball for Jesus to notch his maiden Premier League goal.
Hutchinson can help Awoniyi
Awoniyi will be desperate to prove himself all over again at the City Ground, with goals in short supply over the last year or so.
Having a player like Hutchinson supplying the service can only help a player like Awoniyi, who thrives on quality balls into the box.
Who was your Nottingham Forest Man of the Match vs Wolves
Hutchinson has taken some time to get going at Forest after his summer arrival from Ipswich, but it would appear he’s keen to make up for lost time.
It will be great to have Awoniyi back on the pitch again, and with Jesus and Arnaud Kalimuendo, the two striker options at the moment, more options are definitely needed in the final third.
Hutchinson must be a striker’s dream, and based on his recent performances, it looks as though Forest have signed a real star of the future.
