Rodrigo Muniz nearly suffered a freak injury during a Fulham training session.

Fulham take on Ruben Amorim’s Manchester United, hoping to put in another accomplished performance against a member of the traditional ‘Big Six’, after a win against Chelsea and draws against Arsenal and Liverpool earlier this term. The Londoners sit 10th in the table ahead of the weekend fixtures, having lost just one of their last 10 Premier League encounters.

And Fulham fans will likely be confident, with Marco Silva’s men entering the game with a relatively clean bill of health.

Reiss Nelson has returned to training after a hamstring strain and will be ready for first team involvement in the near future, while full-back Kenny Tete is the only long-term absentee in the squad.

Things could have been different however, had Muniz’ training ground fall been more severe.

Training ground footage of Muniz has circulated on social media, showing the Brazilian star walking towards a door and losing his footing on what appears to be an inclined and wet astroturf surface.

His left foot slid down the slope while his right leg awkwardly collapsed in on itself, which in different circumstances could have led to a serious injury.

Ahead of the game, Silva said: "My focus and ours is on the match on Sunday.

“I'm not here to make comments on Manchester United. It's clear that some of their results could be better - but that's it.

“They are a massive club with quality and are capable of playing against Manchester City, Liverpool, and Arsenal. We need to focus on us."

He added: "All the noise around Manchester United isn't new to us. For many different reasons, they are always top of the headlines, but this will not impact out preparation or what we will do during the game."

On compatriot Amorim, Silva said: "We are from the same area, and in football it's easy to create relationships with people who are around you. We had some shared moments as professional footballers in different clubs. And now we have a normal professional working relationship."
