Nottingham Forest faced a new injury worry during their Premier League match against Burnley. Centre-back Murillo had received medical clearance to begin the game after picking up an issue during midweek action. However, the Brazilian international was unable to complete the first half against the Clarets. When there were five minutes remaining in the opening period, Murillo made a challenge during an opposition attack. Almost immediately, he signaled that he had suffered an injury and needed attention on the field. Murillo subsequently departed in the 42nd minute, walking off with difficulty. Jair Cunha took his place in the lineup. Chris Wood had also been questionable for the team due to a knee injury sustained during the 1-0 Europa League win over Porto, though he was available to start at the City Ground. Callum Hudson-Odoi was absent from the matchday squad. Similar to Murillo and Wood, he had suffered an injury on Thursday evening and was observed using crutches. The fixture presented Forest with a chance to create some separation from the relegation zone along the banks of the Trent. They have six matches left to secure survival, but the lower end of the standings remains extremely competitive. Tottenham Hotspur reduced the gap to Forest to two points after their 2-2 stalemate with Brighton and Hove Albion on Saturday. West Ham United sit just one point behind the team and face Crystal Palace on Monday evening. Pereira’s squad is experiencing their longest unbeaten stretch of the season, having gone six matches without defeat across all competitions following their Thursday result. Their 1-0 triumph over Porto at the City Ground secured a 2-1 aggregate victory and advancement to the Europa League semi-finals, where Aston Villa await. Nottingham Forest’s starting lineup against Burnley: Sels; Aina, Milenkovic, Murillo, Williams; Sangare, Anderson; Bakwa, Gibbs-White, Hutchinson; Wood. Substitutes: Ortega, Morato, Awoniyi, Dominguez, Jesus, Yates, Jair, McAtee, Netz.
