The club shared the update through their official X account, stating:
Rodrigo Muniz underwent scans and the club sought specialist opinion following our game at Everton last weekend. He will have surgery in his hamstring over the coming days and is expected to return to action early in the new year.
This injury poses a considerable challenge for Fulham, as Muniz has been instrumental in their forward line. According to Softfootball, he played a pivotal role in a recent Premier League match against Brighton & Hove Albion, where he scored a late equalizer, tying the game 1-1.
While the club hopes for Muniz’s return early next year, a specific timeline has not been disclosed. His absence will create a gap in the squad that the team needs to navigate.
Muniz was on the field during the match against Arsenal in October, which ended in a narrow defeat for Fulham. His current unavailability necessitates that Fulham explores alternative attacking strategies.
Manager Marco Silva may need to adjust his lineup in Muniz’s absence, looking to other players to bolster the attack while he recovers. The recovery process, including surgery and rehabilitation, will be meticulously overseen to ensure Muniz returns to top form.
This period will certainly be demanding for Muniz, who must concentrate on rest and a thorough recovery plan. Fulham’s medical staff will provide a structured rehabilitation program designed for his benefit.
