Danilo, the Nottingham Forest midfielder, has been sidelined since August following a serious ankle injury sustained against Bournemouth in the Premier League. Despite his absence, the team has performed admirably, with players like Nicolas Dominguez, Ryan Yates, and Elliot Anderson stepping up to fill the void.
After months of recovery, Danilo has resumed training, signaling significant progress. However, he is not yet match-ready and won’t feature in Forest’s upcoming clash against Ipswich Town. Journalist Paul Taylor reports that while Danilo’s recovery is on track, his return to the matchday squad is still a few weeks away.
He stated that Danilo is still weeks away from a Nottingham Forest return.
As Nottingham Forest prepares for their next match, manager Nuno Espírito Santo has other squad concerns. Morgan Gibbs-White, Elliot Anderson, and Anthony Elanga are undergoing late fitness tests. Chris Wood, who was benched due to jet lag after international duty, is expected to start again.
Forest fans are eagerly anticipating Danilo’s return, but the club is exercising caution to ensure he recovers fully before rejoining the action.
