Impact Muillo is going to need some testing ahead of Wednesday's match, with the defender still a late call due to some calf issues. This comes after he was absent for his last outing, with the club hoping to have one of their starting defenders fit. That said, with 18 starts in 18 league appearances this season, he will likely earn a starting spot if deemed fit for the team sheet.

Starts Sunday Murillo (hamstring) is in the starting XI for Sunday's match against Brentford.

Impact Murillo was concerned with a hamstring injury but is now back in the team, missing only one game as he finds the start against the Bees. The Brazilian is a regular central defender for the club, with 18 appearances (18 starts) in league play, unlikely to lose this role.

Hamstring injury confirmed Murillo has been diagnosed with a hamstring injury and is questionable for Sunday's match against Brentford, according to manager Sean Dyche, per Sarah Clapson of the Nottingham Po...

Impact Murillo missed the midweek UEL outing with an injury that has now been deemed a hamstring issue, leaving him as a late call to play Sunday. That said, a few days' turnaround from a hamstring injury would be tough to come by, likely more doubtful to play. If the center-back is unavailable, they will be without a starter, and it will force a change, with Morato as a likely replacement.

Injury status unclear Murillo reportedly missed training sessions before missing Thursday's Europa League clash against Braga, Sarah Clapson of the Nottingham Post reported Wednesday.

Impact Murillo is potentially dealing with an issue whose severity is unknown, so his availability could be a major concern for the team. The defender has played every minute of the last seven league contests, averaging 6.1 clearances and 1.1 interceptions over that span. His place could be covered by Morato if the injury forces him to miss upcoming matchups.

Luckily, he would recover, recording two tackles won, three blocks and six clearances in the defense. He has started in all 15 appearances, a regular when fit.

Impact Murillo had been struggling with a hamstring injury, but actually missed the clash with Everton due to an illness. The defender returned to action in the Europa League where he played 70 minutes. He should be available for Sunday's clash with Tottenham as well now that he's over the hamstring issue and illness.

Returns in Europa League Murillo (hamstring) played 70 minutes during Thursday's 2-1 win over Utrecht.

Impact Murillo was included in the traveling squad and was deemed fit enough to start during Thursday's win. The fact he was straight back in the starting XI is a great sign that he's fully fit once more. When at his best, Murillo is a consistent starter and should be a constant presence in the first team.

Impact Murillo trained in full on Wednesday and travelled with the squad for Thursday's clash against Utrecht in the Europa League suggesting he is expected to return for that game. This is excellent news for Forest since he has been an undisputed starter in central defense and he should claim back that role after his three-game absence due to a hamtring injury.

Remains out Saturday Murillo (hamstring) is ruled out for Saturday's clash against Everton.

Impact Murillo remains out Saturday as he continues to recover from a hamstring injury since last week. The defender has not progressed enough to return to contention and will not be available to start in the backline. His absence is a setback for Nottingham since he has been a key defensive presence when fit and regularly delivers strong performances.

Impact Murillo was quite unlucky over the past week, suffering both an injury and an ailment, but there's hope that he'll be in contention to play again. In that case, he'll likely join Nikola Milenkovic at center-back, pushing Morato to a bench spot. Murillo's presence would give a big boost to Nottingham's defense, as he has been a regular starter when available, averaging 4.6 clearances and 1.9 interceptions per game.

Still not an option Murillo (hamstring) is out for Wednesday's match against Wolves.

Impact Murillo was dealt an illness while already dealing with a hamstring injury, with one of the two keeping him out for a second straight match Wednesday.

A return seemed to be nearing, potentially an option when facing Everton on Saturday.

Impact Murillo was held out over the weekend as he continued to recover from a hamstring injury and was not risked to prevent further injury. However, he is now also suffering from an illness, although it appears he could overcome both injuries to be an option Wednesday. The club hopes this is the case for the Brazilian, as he is a regular starter when fit, starting in all nine of his league appearances.

Impact Murillo was absent from the team sheet completely Sunday after an injury, with the defender dealing with a hamstring injury. That said, the club appeared to take his situation cautiously, not pushing him to play even if he could. They have two matches coming up this week, so it will be interesting to see what they do with the regular starter, hopeful he can play, but keeping Morato as a backup option.

Unavailable Sunday Murillo (calf) is out for Sunday's match against Brighton.

Impact Murillo was thought to possibly be an option for Sunday, but has missed the call altogether, with the defender off the team sheet. However, this does likely mean he makes a return in one of the club's two matches this week, facing Wolves on Wednesday and Everton on Saturday.

Impact Murillo departed Thursday's win over Malmo in the UEFA Europa League with a calf issue, but based on Dyche's words, the center-back could be ready to play this weekend if needed. Murillo has been a stud at the back for the Trick Trees, averaging 4.6 clearances, 1.9 interceptions and 1.5 tackles per game in nine EPL starts.

NOVEMBER 28, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Dealing with calf issue Murillo suffered a calf issue and was forced off in the 74th minute of Thursday's 3-0 win over Malmo in the Europa League, according to John Percy from The Telegraph.

Impact Murillo was forced off in the middle of the second half in Thursday's victory against Malmo in the Europa League due to a calf issue. The center-back had a decent outing, creating three chances after finding his first goal of the season against Liverpool on Saturday. The defender will be assessed in the coming hours to determine the extent of the issue, with the hope that there is nothing serious since he is an undisputed starter in the backline for Forest. If he had to miss some time with a more serious problem, Morato would see a larger role in the backline until he returns.

Suffers potential injury Murillo was forced to exit with an undisclosed issue in Thursday's Europa League win over Malmo.

Impact Murillo created various scoring chances while playing in an unusual full-back position Thursday, but he couldn't finish the game and was replaced by Neco Williams. The extent of the Brazilian's issue is still unknown, making him questionable for the next league match against Brighton. Both Willy Boly and Morato offer center-back depth if Forest need to modify their usual lineup.

Nets in win Murillo scored one goal to go with three shots (two on goal) and one chance created in Saturday's 3-0 victory over Liverpool.

Impact Murillo scored a rare goal on three shots during a shocking rout of Liverpool at Anfield. This was expected to be one of the toughest matches on the calendar, instead, Murillo dominated it. The clean sheet and goal were both brilliant, as Murillo and co. look to bounce back from a very shaky start to the season.

Continues in starting role Murillo recorded one interception, two clearances and three tackles in Sunday's 3-1 win over Leeds United.

Impact Murillo was once again in his starting role Sunday, with the defender playing the entire 90, but was unable to maintain the clean sheet. However, he continues in his everyday starting role, a spot he has now held for the past three seasons. The Brazilian should maintain this role as long as he remains fit, as he has already been forced to miss out three times due to injury and has started in 10 of his 11 appearances this campaign.
