2025 Fantasy Outlook
Combining Murillo with Nikola Milenkovic, Nottingham Forest's central defense was a key part to their 2024/25 season. Murillo steadily improved in his second Premier League season and started all but two matches, playing through numerous minor ailments. He reached almost seven clearances per game to go with 11 clean sheets. He's less of a threat on sets than Milenkovic, which means he's unlikely to improve much on his two goals and zero assists, though there's no reason all of his numbers can't look fairly similar in the 2025/26 campaign.
Could be ready for Sunday
Murillo (calf) could be available to face Brighton on Sunday, manager Sean Dyche told media during Friday's press conference. "We think he will be fine. I will find out more but at the moment he should be fine," Dyche said.
ANALYSIS
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.
