The Nigeria international was replaced by Chris Wood late in the second half after sustaining a broken nose following a nasty collision with Exeter goalkeeper Joe Whitworth.
Santo also praised the striker for his impressive performance in the game.
“It was a concussion and a broken nose,” the Portuguese said after the game.
“He was in a lot of pain. But he has a smile on his face because he scored for us and did an amazing job. We are delighted for him (to get his goal).”

My message to Awoniyi is that, he should be strong and hopefully, he will be back soon to deliver as usual. Finally, I sincerely wish him a speedy recovery.
