NafisaNottingham Forest squandered the chance to match fourth-placed Chelsea’s points tally on Monday evening.
Nuno Espirito Santo’s team were held to a 1-1 stalemate by Crystal Palace, leaving them two points behind the Champions League positions.
Forest supporters were highly critical of Morgan Gibbs-White’s display, as he barely made an impact.
Murillo was forced to leave the game due to injury in the second half, joining Callum Hudson-Odoi on the sidelines, making it a rather frustrating evening for Nottingham Forest.
And, speaking after the match, Nuno provided an update on Murillo’s condition.
Nuno provides injury update on Murillo:
Nottingham Forest were outplayed by Palace until Murillo equalized with a clever finish past Dean Henderson.
But, when the Brazilian exited, the momentum swung back in favor of Oliver Glasner’s side, highlighting just how significant his absence will be.
Nuno has now shared an update on Murillo’s status.
“Only scans can show. He’s in pain but let’s assess him,” the Forest boss told Sky Sports.
Jamie Carragher reckons Murillo will be fine
Sky Sports pundit Jamie Carragher is confident Murillo’s injury isn’t too severe after observing him laughing and joking at the final whistle.
“You don’t ordinarily go to a game to watch a centre-back, but I’m sure Forest fans go to watch Murillo. He’s meant that finish,” Carragher explained.
“I think he’s ok. That’s such a heavy limp, it’s exaggerated. He’s just been laughing and joking. I can guarantee he will be fine for next week…”
Forest return to action on Sunday, facing East Midlands rivals Leicester City at the City Ground.
