Crystal Palace are waiting for medical clarity on Daniel Muñoz after the right-back suffered a shoulder injury while representing Colombia. 

The concern emerged after comments from Colombian journalist Carlos Antonio Vélez on Deportes RCN, where he discussed the early signs surrounding the issue.

Muñoz was forced off shortly after the start of the match following an awkward fall. According to Vélez, the incident happened very early in the game.

“In the seventh minute he falls badly and lands on his shoulder. By the 14th minute he thinks he can continue, until the body tells him: ‘No, you cannot continue’. As simple as that. And he had to leave in the 14th minute”, he said.

The full diagnosis is still pending. However, Vélez explained that there are currently three possible scenarios being considered regarding the shoulder problem.

“There are three possibilities for that shoulder injury: a contusion, a dislocation, or a ligament issue,” he explained. “The last would be the most serious, the middle one the dislocation, and the contusion is simply a blow.”

The 28-year-old has been a key figure both for Palace and the Colombian national team since arriving in the Premier League.
