Nottingham Forest midfielder Danilo is set for a lengthy spell on the sidelines after a sickening injury vs Bournemouth.
Nottingham Forest star Danilo had the worst possible start to a season after suffering a horror injury mere minutes into the opening fixture with Bournemouth .
The midfielder, one of Forest's key players, challenged Antoine Semenyo in the air eight minutes into the clash at the City Ground. But he landed awkwardly and his leg gave away in horrible fashion, with Danilo in immediate pain on the turf.Teammate Morgan Gibbs-White put his hands on his head and both he and referee Michael Oliver gestured for treatment in panic.He was attended to by medics, while stewards were required to hold up banners as a makeshift screen around him before the 23-year-old was stretchered off the pitch and replaced by substitute Ryan Yates.
The Brazilian now looks set for a lengthy spell on the sidelines after suffering a serious injury which was described as "disgusting" on Sky Sports' Soccer Saturday programme.There was an extended stoppage in play as Danilo received treatment. Forest did then take the lead in the game, with Chris Wood opening his account for the season with a poacher's goal after 26 minutes.
