Nottingham Forest During the Chelsea match, Danilo hurts Nottingham Forest.

Latest Nottingham Forest news from NottinghamshireLive as the Reds take on Chelsea at Stamford Bridge

Danilo, a crucial midfielder for Nottingham Forest, will be out for some time after limping off against Chelsea.

The 22-year-old Brazilian player transferred from Palmeiras to the Reds during the January transfer window. Since making his debut last season away at Bournemouth, he has made 18 appearances, scoring three goals and providing two assists.

And after initially finding it difficult to establish himself as a regular member of Steve Cooper’s squad after moving to England, he has since emerged as a crucial member of the Reds midfield.

The first half of Forest’s match against Chelsea on Saturday saw Danilo pull up hurt while chasing a long ball forward, and Forest may now be without one of their key players for a while. In the waning seconds of the first half, Anthony Elanga took his place.

The 22-year-old expressed his gratitude for the cordial welcome he has received in England during a July speech.

When asked about his role in ensuring that the Reds remained in the top division last season, he remarked, “It was a very meaningful moment. “Everyone in the crowd was grinning, and we were safe, so I was extremely delighted. I was grateful to all of my teammates who supported me in the beginning and who still do.

“I was thrilled and moved to tears when I heard my song being sung by fans at that same moment. I want to start by thanking my teammates, the staff, and the coach for their assistance. And the moment I arrived, the fans greeted me.

“I’m overjoyed that they wrote the song just for me. I wasn’t sure at first if it was for myself or for someone else. When I learned the translation was for me, I was thrilled with how they embraced and encouraged me. This holiday season, I aim to increase their happiness.
