Danilo, a midfielder for Nottingham Forest, suffered a terrible leg injury this afternoon, which forced the postponement of Bournemouth vs. Nottingham Forest.

At the City Ground on Saturday, Antoine Semenyo and the Brazilian footballer were involved in a tackle that took place in the seventh minute of the match. The Brazilian player made an uncomfortable landing.

Immediately after becoming aware of Danilo’s predicament, the referee and his teammates did not lose any time in reaching out for more assistance. Immediately after that, the personnel ran onto the pitch, positioned screens all around the man, who was 23 years old, and supplied him with medical treatment.

While Danilo, who had joined Forest from Palmeiras the previous year, was being stretchered off with a splint in his left leg, the Premier League game was delayed for 10 minutes. Danilo had joined Forest from Palmeiras. Once that was over, the game continued.

Medicines carry Danilo off the pitch on a stretcher.

A reporter who was covering the play referred to the incident as a “really nasty clash” and added that there was “major concern here for Danilo.”

She told reporters that before the medical team and ambulance staff stretcher Danilo off, there is almost total silence around the City Ground.

“He’s cheered by both sets of fans.”

After the substitution of Ryan Yates for Danilo, the game continued with Forest grabbing the lead in the 23rd minute of play from the beginning.
