OUT
Injury Hamstring
Est. Return 8/1/2026
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.
Out for season finale
Murillo (hamstring) remains unavailable for Sunday's season finale against Bournemouth after still not returning to team training, according to coach Vitor Pereira, per Jake Netting of VAVEL. "Murillo still isn't training with the team. We are in a moment where we can't take risks. We want to win, but it is not a final or something."
ANALYSIS
Murillo's absence now extends across the final stretch of the campaign, with the Brazilian center-back unable to shake the hamstring issue that has kept him sidelined for multiple consecutive matches. The defender finishes the season with 47 tackles, 43 interceptions and 156 clearances across 39 appearances in all competitions, underlining his importance as one of Nottingham Forest's most reliable defensive presences throughout the campaign. Nikola Milenkovic, Jair Cunha and Morato are expected to continue forming the three-man central defensive unit in his absence as Forest close out their season against Bournemouth.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Reds set to submit offer?
Liverpool are expected to submit a $80 million to sign Murillo, according to TEAMTalk.
ANALYSIS
Murillo is a strong candidate to leave Nottingham Forest due to his impressive performances throughout the 2025/26 season. Liverpool are expected to target a center-back in the summer, especially if Ibrahima Konate departs the club, and Murillo seems to be high in the team's shortlist. It remains to be seen if an $80 million would be enough to land the Brazilian, though.
