Follow live coverage as Nottingham Forest face AFC Bournemouth today in the Premier League.

There was a big moment of concern in the first half when Nottingham Forest midfielder Danilo was carried off on a stretcher due to a standing ovation.

Danilo went up for a header and landed awkwardly after a collision with Smenyo. There were flags to shield the midfielder from view and the physios were brought on immediately.

After a lengthy seven minutes of stoppage, while Danilo received treatment, the match was able to continue.

Nottingham Forest started their season at home to Bournemouth in the Premier League, with both sides eager to get their league form up and running and start the new campaign on the right note.

Follow the latest live action from the Premier League below:

Nottingham Forest vs AFC Bournemouth

Referee Michael Oliver frantically calling for assistance here, as Danilo and Semenyo clash in the middle of the park. A stretcher seems to be out for Danilo who appears to land awkwardly and has potentially got a nasty injury early on into the season.

A late challenge from Sangare near the Forest box but Bournemouth use the advantage played to take a shot on goal and win a corner from the deflection. The corner comes to nothing…

Bournemouth are struggling to get a hold of the ball. A big hoof ball is dealt with by the home side’s defence and they can push into the visitors’ half.

Nottingham Forest vs AFC Bournemouth

Andoni Iraola is of course without last season’s talisman for Bournemouth, with Dominic Solanke moving on to Tottenham Hotspur. Solanke scored a hat-trick in this exact fixture last season and has four goals in two Premier League appearances at the City Ground overall. Bournemouth will instead be leading the line with Semenyo as their main striker in today’s game.

Nottingham Forest vs AFC Bournemouth

Since their return to the Premier League in 2022, Morgan Gibbs-White has been involved in more Premier League goals than any other Nottingham Forest player (28 – 10 goals, 18 assists). His 18 assists in this time are twice as many as any other Forest player, and Nuno Espirito Santo will be looking for more attacking magic from his star player today.
