Unlikely rest of season Muniz (Achilles) isn't expected to return this season, according to manager Marco Silva. "Not for this game, not for the next one. It's going to be difficult for the rest of the se...
Impact Muniz is unlikely to return this season, but Silva didn't mention anything about a long-term injury, which is at least a positive. If he ruptured his Achilles, that likely would've been reported at some point this season. For now, it's a minor Achilles problem that will keep Muniz out the rest of the season, leading to more minutes for Raul Jimenez.

Impact Muniz suffered the initial injury two weeks ago in the match against Bournemouth and it doesn't sound like he'll return in the coming weeks. With little to play for, Muniz likely isn't going to push through an Achilles injury when Raul Jimenez and almost every other attacking piece for Fulham is healthy.

Impact Perhaps because it was against an overall struggling Wolverhampton team, Fulham's latest starting XI included Muniz, and he used the opportunity to log his first goal of the 2025 calendar year. As his four-goal season suggests, he provides some occasional pop with goal scoring but not enough to be considered a consistently reliable option.
