"Despite trudging off against Arsenal, it is not thought that Murillo's injury is a serious one. In fact, according to Postecoglu, the Brazilian could well feature against Burnley this weekend. He was very, very sore on Saturday night, but every day he's improved. I had a chat with him this morning, in a similar vein. He wants to be ready for Saturday. It's a day-by-day thing. But certainly with the improvement he's made so far, we're hopeful he'll be available (for Saturday), he said."
"Murillo, who has impressed for Forest since joining the club from Corinthians in 2023, is an integral part of the set-up at the City Ground and is usually one of the first names on the team sheet. The defender put pen to paper on a new four-year deal in January, ultimately deciding to stay at the club despite heavy speculation linking him with an exit."
Murillo sustained a knock during Nottingham Forest's 3-0 defeat at Arsenal and received on-pitch treatment before being substituted. He missed the midweek Carabao Cup defeat to Swansea. Murillo joined Forest from Corinthians in 2023 and signed a new four-year deal in January, remaining despite heavy transfer speculation. He is an integral part of the squad and is usually one of the first names on the team sheet. The injury is not thought to be serious and he has improved day by day, raising hopes he will be available for the Burnley match. Forest travel to Turf Moor on Saturday seeking their first three points since the opening weekend after back-to-back defeats under the new manager.
