Orel Mangala has turned to Instagram to express his support for Nottingham Forest midfielder Danilo. The Brazilian was introduced at halftime in yesterday’s 3-2 loss to West Ham.
With the score at 1-1 at halftime, the 22-year-old came on to replace Nicolas Dominguez. Danilo did shift the game in Forest’s favor, but the club couldn’t hold on to the lead after going ahead.
Mangala was once again one of the show’s stars. He was impressive throughout the competition and looked to pick up a little steam when Danilo was added.
Mangala sends wordless post to Danilo
Danilo, however, could have succumbed to another injury. London has not been kind to the Brazilian player, who has been out for over a month after tearing his hamstring at Chelsea.
The youngster appeared to be hobbling and gripping the back of his leg at the end of yesterday’s game. This could have been due to exhaustion or a relapse of his injury problem.
On Instagram, Mangala responded to the player. Danilo shared several photos of himself in action, and the Belgian player simply replied with a love heart emoji.
Forest need Danilo fully fit quickly
The midfielder is a fantastic player. He’s capable of creating results as a central midfielder or in a more advanced role, and he brings something unique to the table.
Danilo’s debut altered the game in Forest’s favor, as the Reds went ahead. The lead, however, did not last long, and maybe the team will learn about concentration levels following this one.
Mangala and Danilo must stay in shape for the duration of the campaign. As a result, once the international break is finished, the player signed from Palmeiras should be ready to go.
