Sorry to ruin the mystery but according to this he's injured. Mind you, I suppose it's a mystery why only an agency in Benin knew this.
In the first few months of Warnock's tenure he was praising Guonongbe in really positive terms and said he was the best finisher in training. He was a nuisance and hard working in the matches he played without ever suggesting he was going to be a prolific goalscorer.

Then he disappeared.

I can't recall Warnock ever mentioning him in his press conferences, even when he was running through every other sick or injured player in the squad. And this is our No 9.

He seems to have been airbrushed out. Become a non person. Even if Warnock has no interest in him at all and was only bigging him up out of desperation before Ken Zohore reinvented himself as the complete centre forward, even if Guonongbe was injured and had no chance of playing again all season, I think it is needlessly disrespectful to the player and to the fans to blank him so completely.
