Injuries And Suspensions

What was Elanga's injury? I saw him get a palm in the face and go down, assumed there was something else

[Marinakis Red]

He was down a bit earlier down near the Bournemouth fans and looked like he was struggling a bit after that before he then get palmed off.

South American press reporting that Danilo's injury is less severe than expected and it could be 6-8 weeks out rather than 6-8 months. Hope that's true.

It was his wrist which he sprained previously, and landed on it yesterday 
He didn’t go off with anything likely to keep him out

What should we do now regarding Danilo?

Should we name him in our 25 man squad?

There is a bit to think about.

No way is a player with a limb pointing the other way to the rest out for just 8 weeks.

Id say no, give him till the January to get fit again, play him in some paint trophy games for the B team if he is some how back sooner then we think

Yep. It'd be incredibly disrespectful to another player who'd miss out.

Danilo was taken immediately to the Queen’s Medical Centre to be assessed, before being allowed to go home. Nuno, understandably, was not keen to put a timescale on Danilo’s return. He has returned to hospital for further tests today and has an appointment to see a specialist on Monday. Very early estimates over how long he will be sidelined suggest around three months, but Forest will wait for expert advice.

This is from the Athletic and Percy said at least 3 months too

Takes us to December at the earliest.

How can anyone say until the lad's seen a specialist? It's all just speculation.

Exactly Pap.

As I said in an earlier post, it depends on the location of the break, the severity of it, damage to ligaments possibly etc. The club, nor the hospital would not give out that information, so it is purely speculation at this time. Lets just see what the club say, when they have more information

Percy article about the Nketiah signing mentions that Danilo's ankle break was a clean one and he's had surgery and may only be out for a couple of months.
