- The 24-year-old aggravated a previous hamstring issue during the 2-0 loss to Everton, coming off 17 minutes after entering as a substitute.
- Fulham confirmed he will undergo surgery in the coming days, with the club indicating an early new year return.
- He is expected to miss at least eight fixtures before January, including the Carabao Cup quarter-final away to Newcastle.
- Marco Silva’s senior centre-forward options narrow to Raul Jimenez and 18-year-old Jonah Kusi-Asare, with Jimenez short of form and Kusi-Asare not yet deemed ready to start in the Premier League.
- Reports note Fulham are 15th and a point above the relegation zone, with a potential January move for a striker under consideration depending on Muniz’s recovery.
