Only seven minutes into the start of the Premier League season and the City Ground fell into a stunned silence as Nottingham Forest's star player, Danilo, suffered a horrific injury. As both Forest and AFC Bournemouth took to the pitch for their first game of the 2024-25 season, no one could have predicted the events that were about to unfold.
It all happened so quickly. Danilo and Bournemouth's Antoine Semenyo collided with each other, causing a pause in the game. Medical teams from both sides rushed onto the field to attend to the injured players, while security staff held up a barrier for privacy.
The atmosphere was tense as everyone held their breath, hoping for the best. But as Danilo was eventually stretchered off by the medical team and ambulance staff, it was clear that the situation was serious. However, amidst the chaos, there was a heartwarming moment as both sets of fans came together to cheer on the Brazilian midfielder as he left the pitch.
Watching it all unfold on Sky Sports, football pundit Kris Boyd could hardly believe his eyes. He described the scene as "horrible" and "disgusting," unable to find words to fully capture the shock and dismay of the moment. The replay showed that there was nothing malicious or intentional in the challenge, with Danilo and Semenyo simply jumping for the ball.
But unfortunately, sometimes accidents happen in the game of football, and this was one of those moments. As the stadium fell into a heavy silence, the only thing left to do was to hope for Danilo's full and speedy recovery.
