GettyHe landed awkwardly during the opening moments of the match before being taken off.
Forest were held to a 1-1 draw after Antoine Semenyo cancelled out Chris Wood’s opener.
The result leaves Forest eighth in the table ahead of next weekend’s trip to Southampton.
However, there were concerns for Danilo after his nasty injury caused the match to be suspended.
The 23-year-old took to Instagram to provide an update for supporters.
He wrote: “Hey guys, I’m stopping by to say that I’m fine, thank God, and I’m already home.
“We’ll be back soon and thank you all for the messages of support.”
Meanwhile, his manager Nuno Espirito Santo told reporters: “It was a horrible moment for everybody, he has broken his ankle.

“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.
“He is leaving hospital just now and he is going to be assessed tomorrow. It is serious but the good news is he is stable. He’s speaking.”
GettyDanilo joined Forest in January 2023, signing a deal through to the summer of 2029.
He has since made 50 appearances for the club, scoring six goals and providing four assists.
His form has seen him linked with a move to Manchester United, with Erik ten Hag’s side approaching Forest about a possible move.
Harry Redknapp's 2024/25 season predictions
TOP FOUR
ARSENAL, MANCHESTER CITY, LIVERPOOL and TOTTENHAM — and I’ve got a really strong feeling for Arsenal this season. A few of Man City’s star players are getting a bit older. There’s been nothing between the two teams over the past two years.
RELEGATION
EVERTON (18th), SOUTHAMPTON (19th), LEICESTER (20th) — I like Sean Dyche and Everton are a great club with brilliant, knowledgeable fans. They’re just badly run. They need to go down to rebuild to come back again. But the key is new owners.
TOP SCORER
ERLING HAALAND — I can’t see anyone taking his crown off him. He’s a goal machine, isn’t he? If I can get him at evens, I might lump on!
MOST ASSISTS
MARTIN ODEGAARD — He’ll be the catalyst for Arsenal’s surge to the title. I can see it now. He’s a superb player and he makes it look so easy.
CARABAO CUP
TOTTENHAM — Ange Postecoglou will break Spurs’ trophy curse. Most big teams will mess about with this trophy, but Tottenham will go full steam.
FA CUP
LIVERPOOL — I fancy Arne Slot to stamp his mark on English football quickly and there’s few better ways to do it than lifting this famous old trophy.
CHAMPIONS LEAGUE
REAL MADRID — Carlo Ancelotti is bullish about their chances. He has said that with Kylian Mbappe, it’s the best team they’ve had for a long time.
EUROPA LEAGUE
MANCHESTER UNITED — Clubs seem to have stopped sneering at this competition. And Spurs and United should be going both barrels for it.
CONFERENCE LEAGUE
CHELSEA — The Luxembourg champions could be dangerous! Joking aside, the Blues must win it.
