On Sunday, June 14, 2020, Liverpool striker Taiwo Awoniyi, who is currently on loan at Mainz, suffered a head injury during their 1-0 Bundesliga defeat to Augsburg.
Awoniyi, 22, collided with Augsburg defender Felix Uduokhai midway through the first half and was carried off the pitch on a stretcher.
According to Mainz FC, Awoniyi is recovering well at the hospital and underwent a scan, which revealed no break, and he remained there overnight for further monitoring.
"Our striker Taiwo Awoniyi suffered a concussion... and is spending the night in hospital as a precautionary measure," Mainz said on Twitter.
Awoniyi has scored one goal in 12 league appearances for Mainz this season and has also had loan spells at Frankfurt, NEC Nijmegen, Excelsior Mouscron, and Gent.
