"Crystal Palace's injury woes continue to mount up as they make their way through a hugely congested run of fixtures, with Manchester City's visit to Selhurst Park on Sunday afternoon next on the agenda. Oliver Glasner's side have nonetheless remained in excellent form and last weekend climbed to fourth in the Premier League table thanks to their victory away to Fulham."
"Munoz is just one of eight players Glasner could be without this weekend, with Cheick Doucoure a long-term absentee and Jean-Philippe Mateta missing Thursday's Conference League victory over Shelbourne with a knee injury. Ismaila Sarr has meanwhile picked up an ankle ligament injury that has kept him out of the past three games - and even if he recovers soon, there is every chance he could be called up by Senegal to go to the Africa Cup of Nations next week."
"Glasner said earlier this week: It's bad news. We will miss Dani for a few weeks. The best features, fun and footballing quizzes, straight to your inbox every week. "He will undergo surgery. The prognosis is 4-6 weeks, then he should be ready to play. But always, when you undergo surgery, you never know." That means we are unlikely to see Munoz back in action until at least the middle of January."
Crystal Palace are coping with mounting injuries amid a congested fixture schedule that includes a Premier League home game against Manchester City. The team climbed to fourth after beating Fulham but missed Daniel Munoz for that match and for the 3-0 Conference League win at Shelbourne because of a knee problem. Munoz will undergo surgery and faces an expected recovery period of around four to six weeks, making a mid-January return likely at the earliest. Up to eight players could be unavailable, including long-term absentee Cheick Doucoure, Jean-Philippe Mateta with a knee issue, and Ismaila Sarr with an ankle ligament injury who may be called up for the Africa Cup of Nations.
