Fulham striker Rodrigo Muniz has revealed his wife suffered a miscarriage last season, describing it as a 'difficult' period alongside a hamstring injury. The 25-year-old Brazilian scored his first league goal of the current campaign in a 1-1 draw against Newcastle United. Muniz, who had surgery in November and was sidelined until February, shared that his wife is now pregnant again. 'The goal was for my baby,' he said, expressing hope for a better season.
Since joining Fulham from Flamengo in 2021, Muniz has scored 19 goals and provided three assists in 86 Premier League appearances. This season, all eight of his league appearances under manager Alvaro Arbeloa have come off the bench. Muniz emphasized his determination to earn more playing time through consistent training, stating he is ready when called upon.
