ToggleWHAT HAPPENED?
In Forest's first game of the season against Bournemouth, Danilo challenged for a header in the centre of the pitch but suffered a horror injury upon landing. The Brazilian was quickly tended to by the club's medical staff, while Forest flags were used to obscure the injury from the crowd at the City Ground before he was stretchered off.

THE BIGGER PICTURE
The 23-year-old joined the club in January 2023 and has played 43 games for the club in total, although his season may now be over. He has not sustained a serious injury in his career, so this may force Forest into the transfer market.
