Landing awkwardly just six minutes into the season, the midfielder will now be out for months. Depending on the severity of the break his campaign could be over already.
It is cruel for someone who is clearly popular with the squad and Nuno Espirito Santo had kind words for his stricken star after the game.
But, looking at it in black and white how does the injury impact their transfer plans? How does it impact the squad's rhythm, losing someone so key? Who is the man who will benefit?
Ryan Yates replaced Danilo while Elliot Anderson and Nicolas Dominguez are not like-for-like replacements.
It could force Forest into the market but profit and sustainability is always a consideration when sourcing a replacement.
At least though, Danilo is already in good spirits, having issued an update on Sunday.
"Hey guys. I'm just stopping by to say that I'm fine, thank God, and I'm already home," he wrote on his Instagram story.
"We'll be back soon. Thank you for all the messages of support."
Gary Lineker introduces highlights and analysis from Saturday's six Premier League fixtures, plus the best of the action from Friday's game between Manchester United and Fulham.

Image source, Getty ImagesForest dropped 26 points from winning positions last season and the air of inevitability hung heavy over the home supporters as they left the City Ground.
There was a sense Antoine Semenyo's late leveller was typical Forest after Nuno Espirito Santo's side had done the hard work to put themselves in control in the first half.
They recovered well from Danilo's sickening ankle injury and Chris Wood's opener was deserved but they failed to build on it.
Bournemouth struggled to break through and clearly missed the departed Dominic Solanke, with £40.2m record signing Evanilson, who signed from Porto on Friday, not registered in time to feature.
Yet Forest still let their visitors back into the game and, Willy Boly's second-half header aside, created little of worth going forward in the second half.
Morgan Gibbs-White was unable to create while the defending for the goal gifted the Cherries their late way back.

Nottingham Forest midfielder Danilo has suffered a broken ankle, boss Nuno Espirito Santo has confirmed.
The 23-year-old fell badly on his left leg when challenging Antoine Semenyo after just six minutes of Saturday's 1-1 draw with Bournemouth at the City Ground.
Danilo had nine minutes of treatment on the pitch and was taken to the Queen's Medical Centre in Nottingham. He will be assessed further on Sunday.
"It was a horrible moment for everybody, he has broken his ankle," said Nuno.
"It's serious, we are going to miss him, not only on the pitch. He is a wonderful boy. He is always smiling, always with joy, and we wish him the best.
"Everybody loves him so much. He is leaving hospital just now and he is going to be assessed tomorrow. It is serious but the good news he is stable. He's speaking and aware, he just needs time."
When asked how long Danilo may be out for, Nuno added: "I cannot answer that, I just wish it is short, he is a very important player for us."
Writing on Instagram later, Danilo said he was now home.
"I'm fine thank God and I'm already home," he said. "I'll be back soon and thank you for all the messages of support."
Following Danilo's departure on a stretcher, Forest took a 23rd-minute lead through Chris Wood only for Semenyo to equalise with four minutes left.
"It (Danilo's injury) stays in the head of the players but the response was good," said Nuno.
"It was a good game, a tough game, both teams had chances, controlled the game, had momentum. In the second half we had possession, good combinations and we conceded in the last minutes. We are disappointed about that."
Image source, Getty ImagesNottingham Forest striker Chris Wood spoke to BBC Radio 5 Live about Danilo's first-half injury in their draw with Bournemouth: "It's not a nice one when a team-mate goes down on the pitch like that. He is a great guy and loved by everyone. We will be here to support him in any way possible for him and the family and I know he will come back stronger.
"As footballers you just want to play a nice game and not have to worry about anything like that. It is not nice to see and we will support him.
"Whatever it is, he will come back stronger and come back a better man."
On his goal: "Let's hope that continues. I want to keep contributing and keep scoring goals. We were good in phases today and we need a more complete performance."
Image source, Getty ImagesNuno Espirito Santo spoke to BBC Match of the Day after Nottingham Forest's draw with Bournemouth: "I'm disappointed with how we concede, we had the game under control. It was a tough game, a good game, both teams had momentum. We could have had more.
"We don't know exactly [on the extent of Danilo's injury], we know it's serious. It's unfortunate for him as he is a nice boy, in a good moment. We are going to miss him.
"I think we have a good squad that allows us to have options coming from the bench. But we are going to miss Danilo because he is a top player.
"Chris Wood did well, he gives us another option. Overall I am happy. It's the first game of the season. I am satisfied with the way we played and competed against a tough team. It was a good game, they had chances, we had chances. Let's go for the next one."

Image source, Getty ImagesIn the end, Nottingham Forest's promising first-half display was not enough to beat Bournemouth in their opening game of the Premier League season.
But elements of their performance were definitely encouraging - not least the work of winger Anthony Elanga.
Elanga's well-timed runs, pace out wide and intricate footwork constantly troubled the Bournemouth defence and carved out chances for Forest in the final third.
He also dropped inside when needed as Forest's front line regularly switched positions to try to outsmart the Cherries.
Elanga wasn't alone in being impressive - both Callum Hudson-Odoi and Morgan Gibbs-White were also difficult for Bournemouth to handle - but was a standout player.
Forest were unable to keep things under control at the back and deliver the victory their attacking strength probably deserved, but the fact they were strong going forward is positive nevertheless.

Image source, Getty ImagesNottingham Forest move into their third season back in the Premier League looking for stability.
Boss Nuno Espirito Santo says he has seen progress in his squad since he arrived last December and, with that, should come the top flight security the club will crave.
A second consecutive brush with relegation last season came with the backdrop of the four-point deduction for breaching profit and sustainability rules and a very public row over refereeing appointments and standards.
The club has backed the changes and additional transparency offered by referees' body the Professional Game Match Officials Limited and the Premier League for this season and Nuno has said he will try to avoid confrontation with officials.
Forest are confident they can avoid another season of struggle and that they kick off against Bournemouth with Morgan Gibbs-White and Murillo still in the building shows they have, so far, kept their best assets.
A season of mid-table mediocrity may not sound exciting or glamorous but, for those at the City Ground, it would represent real progress and show Forest can start to establish themselves in the top flight.
There are six games on the opening Saturday of the 2024-25 Premier League and BBC Sport will bring you all the action and reaction throughout the day.

A new season, and a new challenge for BBC Sport's prediction expert Chris Sutton.
Sutton faced off against a guest for each of the 38 game weeks in 2023-24 and triumphed 21-10 (with seven draws) to secure his second predictions title in a row.
He will have a guest each week this time too, but now you can find out if you can do any better.
Sutton's opponent for the opening round of games is The Courteeners frontman Liam Fray.
Sutton's prediction: 2-1
I was wondering how Bournemouth would replace Dominic Solanke's goals and then the news broke about them bringing in Brazil striker Evanilson from Porto, which is an exciting signing for their fans.
Things have been relatively quiet at Nottingham Forest compared to what usually happens with the ins and outs there each summer, and hopefully there will be less drama when the season starts too.
I supported Forest as a boy so I always want them to do well, and I do think they will crack the Premier League eventually, and have a smoother ride. Maybe it will be this year.
Bournemouth won 3-2 at the City Ground in December, with Solanke completing his hat-trick with a stoppage-time winner after Forest had been reduced to 10 men just 23 minutes into Nuno Espirito Santo's first game as Forest boss.
I don't see this game having quite so many thrills and spills, and I am going for Forest to edge it.
Liam's prediction: 1-2
Forest are going to be bobbing around the relegation zone again and I fancy an away win here. Bournemouth will miss Solanke but they played some good football last season.
Our football news reporter Nick Mashiter says "a season of anonymity may well be welcomed" at Nottingham Forest, so we asked you what you hope for from this campaign.
Here are some of your comments:
Neil: After two fraught seasons, a mid-table or below finish would suit me. We've retained our best players and had some good additions. I'm so disappointed most predictions make us either favourites for relegation or a 17th-place finish. We're better than this - if we can keep our forwards fit.
Paul: I'll settle for lower mid-table and a decent cup run. No interference from the chairman either would be nice. So yes, a season of anonymity would be fine by me.
Dave: A steady, under the radar, generally uneventful season please. Good home form but with an attacking edge away from home that will surprise a few teams. But this is Forest - so something dramatic will happen.
Kevin: Forest may surprise people this season. I think a realistic aim should be comfortably mid-table - around 12th to 15th. However, I would not be surprised if Forest make a push for the top 10.

Image source, Getty ImagesNuno Espirito Santo wore a wry smile when he was asked if he had missed the press this summer.
It opened the Nottingham Forest boss' first news conference of the Premier League season before Saturday's opener at home to Bournemouth.
Nuno is never one to give much away to the media during these sit-downs and remained tight-lipped about any transfer plans before the close, but there is a quiet confidence around the City Ground.
Last season's tally of just 32 points saw them finish 17th, six points above the relegation zone, after the four-point deduction following a profit and sustainability breach.
With a pre-season under Nuno, which he did not have after replacing Steve Cooper in December, the manager is adamant he has seen improvement in the time he has been at the club.
The two European Cups the club won in 1979 and 1980 were also brought through the media area, not being paraded but being moved as the club improves and upgrades the stadium before the curtain-raiser.
They are a fierce reminder of what has been achieved in the past and, while nobody is expecting a challenge for the Champions League spots this season, avoiding a prolonged relegation scrap is expected.

Nottingham Forest boss Nuno Espirito Santo has been speaking to the media before Saturday's Premier League game against Bournemouth (kick-off 15:00 BST).
Here are the key lines from his news conference:
On team selection, Nuno said there are no "big issues" and his squad are fine for Forest's opener.
On changes he would like to see at Forest this season: "Hopefully, we improve - that’s the main idea. We now have the real moments to evaluate what we need to improve [and] there’s always a chance to do better."
In his view, one of the main aspects of the transfer window is "that we keep the players we have" and he is "100% sure" they will not encounter further financial problems.
He added: "On a daily basis in the training ground, everyone is there and I hope everyone is there tomorrow and until the last day [of the transfer window]. That’s our priority - to keep all the players that are with us. I realise there’s interest from other clubs but we want to keep them all."
Nuno is "really happy" with the new signings at Forest, but emphasised they will "have to work hard" because of how strong the squad is. He has also not ruled out making further additions: "We want to bring people in who can bring something different to what we have."
On Saturday's opponents who recently sold star striker Dominic Solanke to Tottenham: "We know Bournemouth is a strong squad, They are in the market also. Solanke is a good player [and] he’s not going to be involved in the game but they will have quality players on the pitch."
