Nottingham Forest midfielder Danilo has suffered a broken ankle, manager Nuno Espirito Santo said after the Brazilian was carried off on a stretcher just 10 minutes into their Premier League opening game against Bournemouth on Sunday.
The 23-year-old, who joined Forest from Brazilian side Palmeiras in 2023, fell awkwardly after colliding with Bournemouth forward Antoine Semenyo. The match was delayed for several minutes as he received medical treatment on the pitch.
Forest went on to draw the match 1-1 with Bournemouth.
"It was a horrible moment for everybody, he has broken his ankle," Nuno told British media.
"It's serious, we are going to miss him, not only on the pitch. He is a wonderful boy. He is always smiling, always with joy, and we wish him the best.
"He is leaving hospital just now and he is going to be assessed tomorrow. It is serious but the good news he is stable. He's speaking and aware, he just needs time."
Danilo has scored six goals and provided four assists in 49 appearances for Forest.
"It (Danilo's injury) stays in the head of the players but the response was good," Nuno added.
Forest next visit promoted Southampton in the Premier League on Aug. 24.
