Nottingham Forest star to miss Europa League semi-final first leg against Aston Villa
Nottingham Forest boss Vitor Pereira has confirmed that Murillo will remain sidelined for their Europa League semi-final.
Forest will welcome Aston Villa to the City Ground in the first leg of the all-English tie. However, they could be without a number of key players.
Defender Murillo was forced off with a muscle injury earlier this month and has not yet returned to action.
âHe is trying to come back as soon as possible but he is not ready for tomorrow,â Pereira said on the Brazilian centre-back. âHe will not be long, I believe. Hopefully a few more days and he will be back.
âI donât have a magic ball so I cannot predict, but I think he is recovering. Weâll see.â
Pereiraâs preferred replacement for Murillo at centre-back would be his compatriot Jair Cunha. However, he is also a doubt after being forced off in Forestâs win over Sunderland last Friday. Despite this, he was involved in team training earlier today.
Asked about his availability, Pereira insisted: âOur medical department are working hard to put everyone in condition to help us.â
The Reds are at a crucial point in their season, as they continue to battle for Premier League survival and chase European glory.
On his sideâs injury issues, Forestâs boss continued: âSome problems, as every team has in this moment. We are at the end of the season and have a lot of games. We will see.
Murillo is sidelined due to a muscle injury he sustained earlier this month.
The first leg of the Europa League semi-final will take place at the City Ground, but the exact date is not specified.
Nottingham Forest's manager is Vitor Pereira, who confirmed Murillo will not play in the semi-final.
