Fulham Fall at Bournemouth With Strikers Out as Silva Updates Muniz Return Hopes

Silva now targets a pre-international break return for Rodrigo Muniz following a striker-short Fulham loss at Bournemouth.

Overview

  • Fulham lost at Bournemouth on Friday with both senior centre-forwards, Rodrigo Muniz and Raul Jimenez, unavailable.
  • Post-match, Marco Silva said “let’s see if we can have him back before the international break,” revising earlier expectations that Muniz’s hamstring layoff would extend beyond it.
  • Kenny Tete remains sidelined by a knee issue, with Silva reiterating that surgery is not required as his conservative recovery continues.
  • With no fit senior number nine, Harry Wilson led the line, underscoring that 18-year-old loanee Jonah Kusi-Asare is the only fully fit recognised striker.
  • Football Insider reported an additional setback as Sasa Lukic went off early, intensifying scrutiny of Fulham’s thin summer recruitment and limited depth.
