Premier League star suffers horror harm as barrier put up round ‘terrible scene’
Nottingham Forest star Danilo has suffered a horror injury less than ten minutes into the new Premier League season.
Danilo, 23, had been challenging for the ball in the centre of the pitch with Antoine Semenyo when an awkward landing caused an injury to his ankle. The City Ground immediately fell silent as the midfielder received treatment from the medical team, who had placed barriers around him.
“Yatesy replaces Danilo who is stretchered off. We’re all with you, Danilo,” Forest said on social media after the Brazilian was stretched off the pitch. “Our thoughts are with Nottingham Forest’s Danilo who appears to have suffered a season ending injury during their first game,” TNT Sports said.

“That’s horrible wishing him a speedy recovery,” one fan said. While a second shared: “That’s absolutely horrible for Danilo.. Please get well soon!”
“Danilo’s leg break was absolutely horrific,” a third said. And another added: “Wishing Danilo a speedy recovery although by what I’m reading could be out for the season. The final score is irrelevant today…”

There was seven minutes of stoppage before the game could continue – as all four corners of the ground clapped off the Brazilian.
Chris Wood would break the deadlock, once play could resume, with Adam Yates, who replaced Danilo, driving the team forward. Yates’ shot could only parried out into the penalty area, where Wood was waiting to roll the ball home and send Forest ahead.
