FPL Gameweek 8 injury updates on Murillo + Wood

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.
