Liverpool handed fresh injury scare just hours after €40m signing | OneFootball

Liverpool completed the €40 million signing of Victor Munoz from Osasuna yesterday.

The 22-year-old is currently away with the Spanish national team on World Cup duty, and he has picked up a muscle injury.

According to a report from Cadena Ser, the 22-year-old attacker was already recovering from a knock he had carried over from last season, but his recovery has been delayed after he picked up another muscle problem. The report states that it is unclear when the player will return to action and that he will be carefully monitored during that time.

Munoz had an impressive season with Osasuna, registering 15 goal contributions across all competitions. The 22-year-old would have expected to make his mark in the World Cup with his country. He is an exciting young talent, and Spain could certainly use his explosive pace and flair from the flanks.

Meanwhile, Liverpool will certainly hope that the injury is not serious, and he can return to action quickly.

Liverpool are in desperate need of quality wide players, and they have decided to invest in the 22-year-old. He could be an important player for the club next season. The last thing the Premier League would need is for him to pick up an injury problem. Liverpool struggled with multiple injuries last season, and they will be hoping for better luck on that front this time around.
