Munoz Knee Injury Sidelines Crystal Palace Defender for Fulham Clash

Craven Cottage, London – Crystal Palace will be without defender Daniel Munoz for their Premier League fixture against Fulham today, manager Oliver Glasner confirmed. The wing-back is sidelined with a swollen knee, forcing Glasner to make a change to his starting lineup.

“His knee is a little bit swollen,” Glasner told Sky Sports ahead of the match. “I said to Danny ‘sorry, mate, I have to rest you’ and that’s why he can’t play. Of course, we never take any risk, and that’s why he misses today’s game.”

Nathaniel Clyne will fill the right-back position in Munoz’s absence, marking his first Premier League start of the season. Glasner praised Clyne’s reliability and experience, stating, “Clyne has not played many minutes, but he’s always available and he knows what to do in this position. We know that we can always rely on Clyne. He’s not that attacking player like Danny, but he’s very reliable, so that’s why he starts.”

Glasner is optimistic that Munoz’s injury is not serious and expects him to be available for selection in Crystal Palace’s next match against Manchester City next Sunday. In response to being without his usual wing back, Crystal Palace will bring on Eddie Nketiah, an attacking striker, onto the pitch.
