Muñoz also said that, with key players returning across the squad, he and his teammates were optimistic for the second half of the season, with potentially just five points separating Palace from the European spots heading into Sunday’s match at Manchester United.
“I think [the recent difficult form was] as a result of things that normally occur in a season at a high level,” Muñoz added.
“Suffering injuries to key players in important key moments, I think that caused us a little that difficulty. Those are the kind of gaps faced by the biggest teams.
“We have to keep working, we have to keep fighting, and sooner or later, I believe that, in the end, honest work always pays off.
“It remains on us to work hard every day. Now, there is game after game, and we’ll work hard to go in search of the best results for the team.”
