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.
Remains out Saturday
Murillo (hamstring) is ruled out for Saturday's clash against Everton.
ANALYSIS
Murillo remains out Saturday as he continues to recover from a hamstring injury since last week. The defender has not progressed enough to return to contention and will not be available to start in the backline. His absence is a setback for Nottingham since he has been a key defensive presence when fit and regularly delivers strong performances.

Absent with hamstring injury
Murillo (calf) was out for Sunday's 2-0 loss to Brighton due to a hamstring injury, according to manager Sean Dyche, according to the Nottingham Post. "We had to make a judgement call on Murillo. I am hopeful he will be alright. We have got so many games. He had a tight hamstring and wasn't sure himself so I had to make a judgement call on that. Murillo had a bit of a tight hamstring when he came off the other night. We scanned it and it was nothing major. But it was still a bit tight today. We have got so many games coming up and hamstrings are a nightmare - if that goes, you are out for a while. We are trying to get people back fit, rather than re-injured."
