A thigh issue kept Murillo (£5.4m) out of Nottingham Forest’s last three league matches, but he will be fit for Gameweek 8 versus Chelsea.
Speaking at Friday’s press conference, boss Ange Postecoglou added that Douglas Luiz (£5.0m, hamstring) and Oleksandr Zinchenko (£4.9m, groin) are also fine to play.

As for Chris Wood (£7.3m), who came off in New Zealand’s draw with Norway, Postecoglou isn’t too worried.
“With the guys who have come back, Chris Wood was the only one with a little bit of a niggle, with his knee. But I think he should be fine.” – Ange Postecoglou
“Obviously, we had quite a few away on international duty but they’ve all come back in good condition and are ready to play.” – Ange Postecoglou
Therefore, as it stands, Ola Aina (£4.8m, hamstring) is the only definite absentee.
