Nottingham Forest will be sweating on the fitness of Danilo as they look ahead to the final four games of their survival fight.
The midfielder was forced off with what looked to be a hamstring problem late on in the Reds’ 2-1 defeat at Brentford. And with the visitors unable to make any more substitutions, they had to play the final minutes with 10 men.
Ivan Toney had already cancelled out Danilo’s opener by that point, and Josh Dasilva went on to capitalise on the Bees’ numerical advantage by scoring a contentious winner. Head coach Steve Cooper felt fatigue played a part for his players, following a “taxing” three-game week, and that was also a factor in the changes he made during the game.
