Sent off against Brighton
Awoniyi was sent off in the 53rd minute of Sunday's Premier League clash against Brighton and will be suspended for the next three games.
ANALYSIS
Awoniyi's dismissal will force Coventry to make some change at center-forward for their next three league fixtures, with the striker set to serve a long suspension. Sidiki Cherif and Ellis Simms are the leading candidates to replace him at the top of the attack while he's unavailable. Awoniyi will be able to return against Tottenham on Oct. 19.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
West Ham showing interest
West Ham United are interested in making a move for Awoniyi, according to Florian Plettenberg of Sky Sport Germany.
ANALYSIS
The 27-year-old striker has been limited to a secondary role with Nottingham Forest, and he wouldn't be opposed to a change of scenery. Plus, West Ham are in dire need to do something since they're missing several starters due to injuries.
