Defender Murillo is expected to miss Nottingham Forest's Europa League semi-final first leg against Aston Villa.
The centre-back limped off with an apparent hamstring injury in the first half of Sunday's 4-1 win over Burnley and is sidelined for Friday's Premier League trip to Sunderland.
He is also expected to miss the first game with Villa at the City Ground next Thursday, Forest's first European semi-final in 42 years.
"He is out [of the Sunderland game]," head coach Vitor Pereira said on Thursday. "We will see. It is a muscle injury.
"I'm not a doctor, I cannot predict, but he will be out tomorrow. I think it will be more than one game."
It adds to Forest's woes after Callum Hudson-Odoi was ruled out for the rest of the season.
The winger had surgery on a quad problem this week after coming off in the Europa League quarter-final win over Porto last week.
"He is OK after the surgery," Pereira said. "He is an important player for us, but the most important thing is for him to fully recover and come back at the level he used to have."
Murillo is suffering from a hamstring injury.
The semi-final first leg against Aston Villa is scheduled for next Thursday.
It has been 42 years since Nottingham Forest last reached a European semi-final.
