Nottingham Forest star Danilo has suffered a horror injury on the opening day of the Premier League season to leave football pundit Kris Boyd stunned.

Saturday’s incident occurred at the City Ground during Forest’s match against AFC Bournemouth, with both top-flight sides playing their first game of 2024-25.

There was a stoppage in play after just seven minutes as Danilo and Cherries star Antoine Semenyo clattered into each other, with both medical teams coming on.

Security staff also entered the pitch – holding up a barrier of privacy as the medics worked on the 23-year-old – as the stadium fell into a dramatic and tense silence.

Danilo was eventually stretchered off by the medical team, and ambulance staff, with the Brazilian midfielder cheered by both sets of fans as he left the pitch.
Football pundit Boyd watched it all unfold on Sky Sports and said: ‘It’s horrible, it’s Danilo in the middle of the pitch.

‘He’s just jumped for the ball with Semenyo. It’s disgusting. He’s come back down and there’s no other way to say it, it’s looked like the bottom of his leg’s snapped.
