🚨🚨🚨 BREAKING: Nottingham Forest Player Set to Undergo Surgery — Major Blow Ahead of New Season 👇👇
Nottingham Forest have been dealt a significant blow just weeks before the start of the new Premier League season, as midfielder Danilo is set to undergo surgery following a training ground injury sustained earlier this week, club sources confirm.
The 23-year-old Brazilian, who played a pivotal role in Forest’s midfield last season, reportedly suffered a meniscus tear during a closed training session. Initial assessments had suggested a minor knock, but further scans revealed the need for corrective surgery. Danilo is expected to be sidelined for 6 to 8 weeks, potentially missing the opening stretch of the 2025/26 campaign.
Forest manager Nuno Espírito Santo expressed his disappointment, saying, “Danilo has been an engine in the middle of the park. While it’s a setback, we’re confident he’ll return stronger.”
Danilo made 31 appearances last season, contributing 4 goals and several key performances in Forest’s battle to stay up. His absence will now force the coaching staff to reassess midfield options, with increased pressure on players like Ryan Yates and Ibrahim Sangaré to step up in the early fixtures.
Fans are already reacting across social media, with many sending their support and well-wishes to the popular midfielder. “Come back stronger, Danilo! The City Ground will be waiting,” one supporter posted.
With preseason in full swing and the Premier League kickoff fast approaching, Nottingham Forest’s preparations face early turbulence.
🔴 Stay tuned for updates on Danilo’s recovery timeline and Forest’s response in the transfer market.
