Orel Mangala has taken to Instagram to offer some support to Nottingham Forest star Danilo. The Brazilian came on at half-time during yesterday’s 3-2 defeat to West Ham.
The 22-year-old replaced Nicolas Dominguez at half-time with the score at 1-1. Danilo did change the game in Forest’s favour but ultimately, the team couldn’t see out the win after going ahead.
Mangala was once again one of the stars of the show. He was impressive throughout the contest and seemed to kick on somewhat when Danilo was introduced.
Mangala sends wordless post to Danilo
Sadly, for Danilo, he might have been struck down with another injury. London isn’t proving a happy city for the Brazilian player who missed over a month after injuring his hamstring at Chelsea.
Towards the end of the game yesterday, it looked as though the youngster was hobbling and clutching the back of his leg. This might have been a bit of fatigue or it might be a recurrence of his injury issue.
Mangala has responded to the player on Instagram. Danilo posted some pictures of him in action, with the Belgian player simply responding with a love heart emoji.
Forest need Danilo fully fit quickly
The midfielder is a wonderful talent. He’s capable of producing the goods in central midfielder or in a more advanced role and he does bring something a little bit different.
Danilo changed the game in Forest’s favour and his introduction saw the Reds go in front. However, the lead didn’t last long and hopefully, the team will learn about concentration levels after this one.
Forest need Mangala and Danilo to stay fit throughout the campaign. As a result, the hope will be that the player signed from Palmeiras will be good to go once the international break is over.
