Taiwo Awoniyi - abdominal
Nottingham Forest striker Taiwo Awoniyi (27) had come on as a late substitute as Forest searched for a winner but the 27-year-old forward needed treatment when he clattered into the far post on a quick counter-attack.
Although he rejoined the game minutes later, he was limping around as Forest failed to find the goal needed to move up to fifth. (Source: Reuters)
