Nottingham Forest dealt another injury blow in their battle for Premier League survival | OneFootball

Nottingham Forest defender Murillo will miss the game against Sunderland on Friday, boss Vitor Pereira has revealed.

The Brazilian was forced off before half-time of Forest’s win over Burnley in their last outing and is also likely to miss the Europa League quarter-final first leg against Aston Villa.

“He is out,” Pereira said. “We will see. It is a muscle injury.

“I’m not a doctor, I cannot predict, but he will be out tomorrow. I think it will be more than one game.”

It comes after Callum Hudson-Odoi was ruled out for the remainder of the season with a quad injury.

“He is okay after the surgery,” Pereira said on the winger. “He is an important player for us, but the most important thing is for him to fully recover and come back at the level he used to have.”

But in better news for Forest, Dan Ndoye is available for Friday’s Premier League clash.

“Dan will be in condition to go to the game,” Pereira said. “That is good news for us.

“Now, he is better and can play tomorrow. He can help us tomorrow because he is on the list. It was not serious, it was just a small problem.”
