Out against Uruguay Danilo has been ruled out for at least Monday's match against Uruguay after cracking ribs in training, according to manager Fernando Santos via Mais Futebol.

Impact There are some reports that Danilo is out for the group stage, but for now he's only out for Monday's game. In the same release the manager also announced that Pepe is likely to start, giving a clear replacement for Danilo during his absence.

Nets first goal of season Danilo scored on three shots (one on target) and added one interception and three aerials won in Sunday's 2-1 win over Lorient.

Impact Danilo returned to the starting XI with a bang. Despite getting slotted on defense he was a serious offensive threat setting up his season high in shots, with three and securing his first goal this campaign in the process. With Presnel Kimpembe still out the former could be in line for another start next week in the final clash before the World Cup.

Returns off bench midweek Danilo (hamstring) played two minutes off the bench in Wednesday's 2-1 win over Juventus.

Impact Danilo made his return a bit prematurely than initially expected but he'll likely be used with caution over the past two games before the World Cup which could keep his upside limited.

Will return to training Sunday Danilo (hamstring) is expected to return to training Sunday after Saturday's visit from Troyes, according to his club.

Impact Danilo was originally expected to miss three weeks with a hamstring injury and his return may shorten that timeline somewhat. Should he get back to full health in the next two weeks, Danilo will preserve his chances of playing in the World Cup, though for now Nordi Mukiele and Marquinhos are likely to be the starters at center-back.

Could miss World Cup Danilo has been diagnosed with a hamstring lesion and is ruled out for at least three weeks, L'Equipe reports.

Impact Danilo has been delivered a bad news with his timeline not only leaving him on the sidelines for multiple weeks but also threatening his World Cup status for Portugal. And for PSG Presnel Kimpembe is also still out and Sergio Ramos has one more game of suspension which could see Nordi Mukiele in a central role Friday versus Ajaccio and with a more extensive role over the next few weeks.

Comes off injured against Marseille Danilo was subbed out of Sunday's Le Classique victory in the 25th minute after suffering an injury.

Impact Danilo has started in seven of PSG's last eight matches across Ligue 1 and the Champions League while Presnel Kimpembe (hamstring) has been sidelined, but Danilo has now picked up an injury of his own that will require evaluation and Marquinhos would be the club's only healthy center-back at the moment if Danilo has to miss some time, though Nordi Mukiele is also able to play at the position.

Nets own goal in UCL draw Danilo scored an own goal but tallied one shot (on target), two aerials won and two tackles (both won) in Wednesday's 1-1 draw to Benfica.

Impact Danilo's production is far from enough to compensate for the damage from the own goal. He's had a serious role in the starting XI thus far this season but without major contributions he usually produces little in terms of fantasy worthy numbers.

OCTOBER 6, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Fires in five goals in 22 starts Danilo scored five times on 19 shots (nine on target) in 27 league appearances (22 starts) for PSG in season 2021/22.

Impact Given his limited offensive role Danilo was impressively prolific this season notching his most goals in a season in last six years, with five scores. He also added 33 tackles and 37 interceptions. Injuries in midfield saw him as a regular starter over the past months but if everyone is back healthy for the new season he could go back to a rotational role.

Scores in win over St. Etienne Danilo scored on three shots (two on target) and added two aerials won, two tackles (both won) and two interceptions in Saturday's 3-1 win over St. Etienne.

Impact Danilo continues to find ways to put the ball in the back of the net and has already netted three scores this month, four since the turn of the year and five on the season. He's had at least one shot in each of his past five appearances and with all that creative weapons around him his upside is solid when on the pitch.

FEBRUARY 27, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Fires in brace in 5-1 romp Danilo scored twice on two shots and added two fouls drawn and 40 passes completed in Sunday's 5-1 win over Lille.

Impact Danilo has been on fire of late bagging a brace here to get to three goals in last two matches. He's now taken seven shots over his past three appearances alone after having a total of six all season long before that. While he's on a hot roll here, the holding midfielder could however get cold quickly at any point.

FEBRUARY 8, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Scores in 4-0 romp Danilo scored on three shots (two on target) and added three interceptions and two fouls drawn in Sunday's 4-0 win over Reims.

Impact Danilo turned up his offensive fire a bit and had plenty of chances to get even more than his one goal. He's now mounted five shots over his past two outings alone after having a total of six all season long before that. That was his first goal since mid-October and second on the season but if he can sustain his number of shots it could shoot up his upside in most formats.

JANUARY 26, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Could feature in Brest match Danilo (COVID-19) wasn't mentioned in the injury report and could be available for Saturday's match versus Brest.

Impact None of Bitumazala, Angel Di Maria, Gianluigi Donnarumma, Julian Draxler, Danilo, Layvin Kurzawa and Sergio Rico were added to the report and must be back in training and available for selection. There are plenty of options in midfield though and Danilo will likely be eased off the bench as a precaution in his return.

JANUARY 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Tests positive for COVID-19 Danilo has tested positive for COVID-19 and is ruled out for Sunday's match versus Lyon.

Impact Danilo is the latest victim of the virus in the Parisinas squad and will have to miss the big derby. Leandro Paredes wasn't mentioned in the injury report and should be ready to take the former's spot in central midfield.

JANUARY 8, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Heads home first goal of season Danilo scored on his lone shot and added one tackle won and team-high 103 passes completed in Friday's 2-1 win over Angers.

Impact Danilo found the terrific cross of Kylian Mbappe and draw Parisians level early in the second half with a clinical header netting his first score of the campaign. That was only his fourth start of the season though and he's hardly shown any creative side when on the pitch to warrant some fantasy attention even with this score.
