Liverpool's new signing, Victor Muñoz, has sustained an injury that will delay his return to the pitch, the Spanish Football Federation officially announced. The player suffered a new muscle strain, which will postpone his comeback. Muñoz, who was only unveiled as a Reds player yesterday, had recently been recovering from a previous injury and was following a specially designed rehabilitation plan. He had even rejoined the main Spain squad for training ahead of the World Cup in the USA, Mexico, and Canada, but these new physical issues will now push back his return to action.
The Spanish Federation has not provided any specific timeline for Muñoz's return to the field. Victor Muñoz himself was only presented yesterday as a Liverpool player, becoming the first new acquisition for the "Reds" under Andoni Iraola's management. "La Furia Roja" began their World Cup campaign with a disappointing goalless draw against Cape Verde, and the Iberians will be looking to make amends in their match against Saudi Arabia in two days.
