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.
Suffers potential injury
Murillo was forced to exit with an undisclosed issue in Thursday's Europa League win over Malmo.
ANALYSIS
Murillo created various scoring chances while playing in an unusual full-back position Thursday, but he couldn't finish the game and was replaced by Neco Williams. The extent of the Brazilian's issue is still unknown, making him questionable for the next league match against Brighton. Both Willy Boly and Morato offer center-back depth if Forest need to modify their usual lineup.

Late call for Sunday
Murillo (thigh) will be a late call for Sunday's game against Newcastle United, manager Ange Postecoglou told media Friday. "We'll see. It was a different knock last night. He only had 20 minutes against Arsenal and similar last night, so it was disappointing to lose him. He actually trained this morning and he looked okay, so I'm not really sure. We'll wait and see."
