Undroppable for club and country, Daniel Munoz has been a revelation for Crystal Palace since joining from Genk in January 2024 — winning the FA Cup, Community Shield and Conference League at Selhurst Park.
Munoz has been a key performer for Colombia at the World Cup too, netting a brilliant volleyed opener against Uzbekistan before scoring the only goal via a deflected strike in the narrow victory over DR Congo.
The 30-year-old is a box-to-box full-back with incredible energy, drive, defensive sturdiness and forward threat.
With qualification for the knockouts already secured after the win against DR Congo, Munoz was given a rest for the Portugal game and didn’t enter the action until the 87th minute.
He should be refreshed and re-energised for his tireless running up and down the pitch ahead of this round of 32 tie.
