Exits early against Celta Munoz was forced off in the 39th minute of Saturday's match against Celta, having been stretchered off the pitch after suffering an injury to his knee. Impact Munoz's situation does not look to be good at first glance, having to be helped off the pitch by a stretcher after going down due to being hit in the left knee. Despite the defender getting his first start in four matches Saturday, his absence could be a major loss if it is long-term, as the left-back has started in 16 of the club's 27 games across all competitions, appearing for at least a minute in every contest this year. More should be released on the player following the match, as the whole club waits in hope that the injury is only minor despite the scary scene as he left the field. He was replaced by Kieran Tierney, who should be expected to get the start at left-back in future matches if Munoz misses an extended period.
