Rodrigo Muniz Carvalho Injuries

'Like all the teams, we need all our strikers for the demands of the Premier League. The impact [from him] was good in the first moments. But after he felt something again [injured].' 'He came on and had an impact, had a great chance to equalise, and he felt something in the same leg and same area of the hamstring. It looks like [it's] not good news for us. Let's see in the next few hours to analyse him.' 'Rodrigo underwent scans, and the club sought specialist opinion following the game at Everton. He will have surgery on his hamstring over the coming days, and is expected to return to action early in the New Year.' 'Rodrigo is going to be out. And now, for a long time, so you don't need to ask me every week. I can give you more or less the timescale [for a return], in the middle of February, could be the time for him.' 'He's getting better. I was just speaking with him, and he's getting good feelings. He's doing individual work on the [training] pitch.' 'Rodrigo (Muniz) is still a long time. Nice to see him back on the grass doing some individual work with the medical staff. Let's hope everything continues really well and to have him with us in the next month.' 'Rodrigo, next week is going to give other steps in the direction of what is important for him to be ready. If you ask me right now, next week he’s probably not going to be in contention [GW24]. If he's going to react well, probably have him soon in contention.' 'Rodrigo is around the team already, but too soon to be in contention. Let's hope we have good news next week.' 'Just Sasa Lukic is [not] going to be in contention... All the other players are going to be available [for] the game.'

'Unfortunately, it is going to be longer than we would like it to be - it is a muscle injury. Let's see how long it's going to be out, but for sure until the international break, he is not going to be with us.' 'Right now, I can assure you that Rodrigo is going to be out, and Kenny Tete is going to be out, too... More than just this game, we believe even after the Int' break, it’s going to be an issue for them to be ready for the next ones.' 'Let's see if we can have him back before the November international break.' 'Rodrigo started running as well, but it’s difficult to have a timescale.' 'I have to take a decision [on Muniz] because, as you know, four-five weeks out. But now, in this moment, he had some good days with us. He's getting better.' 'Of course, last week, it was impossible for him to be ready for 90 minutes. And let's see what is going to be my decision for Saturday - he can start or not. He's getting better, and it's been a good week for him.'

'Unfortunately, he is going to be out for the next game, let's see after that. It's going to be hard to have him back [anytime soon].' 'Against Bournemouth, in the first minute of the game, there was a tackle on him, from behind on his Achilles. He played 55 minutes in a lot of pain, but he made an effort. It is why we made the sub so early... He tried last week but was not in a condition. Let's see if he can be ready to play again this season. Right now, we are not sure about it.' 'Rodrigo, no. Not for this game, probably not for the next one. It's going to be difficult to have him until the end of the season. Of course, we are going to try, see how he's going to react, but the news is not very good. We have to see week by week.'

'Unfortunately, he felt something in his back towards half-time, and it was impossible for him to come out in the second half. We have to assess him.' 'Probably, he's going to be ready. It was a small issue in his back; he felt really close to half-time, and it was not possible for him to start at all. The day after, he was feeling better; yesterday, again, some improvements. We’re positive.'

'Luckily, he is reacting well from the game. I had a chat with him yesterday. The feedback from the medical staff looks like he is probably going to be OK. He's not 100 per cent.'

'He twisted his ankle during the international break. He had a bad injury. He was out of training for eight days. There was really bad swelling in that ankle. He did well to get fit again.'

'We don't know yet. It's too soon. I hope it's nothing serious. His debut in the Premier League in the starting XI, and he did very well.' 'It's not really, really serious. But it's going to prevent him from being involved in the next few games. Probably after the international break, maybe one or two weeks, and he's going to be back.'
