English Premier League witnessed horrible scenes after Nottingham Forest midfielder Danilo was carried off on a stretcher with a serious injury to his left leg during his side's season opener against Bournemouth on Saturday.
Screens were put up around the Brazilian Danilo while medical staff attended to him and his teammates were seen putting hands on their heads realising the seriousness of the injury. Danilo landed awkwardly as he challenged Bournemouth striker Antoine Semenyo in the seventh minute at the City Ground, video replays showed.
The referee and other players on the field wasted no time to call for help after seeing Danilo's condition. He was carried off, to applause around the ground, after nearly six minutes of treatment.
Danilo joined Forest from Palmeiras last year.
