Manchester United has confirmed that their promising 19-year-old midfielder Kobbie Mainoo will remain sidelined for several weeks. Initially, Mainoo sustained a muscle injury during the team’s match against Aston Villa earlier this month.
Subsequently, both Mainoo and his teammate Harry Maguire were forced to withdraw from England’s Nations League campaign. Specifically, they missed crucial matches against Greece and Finland. Maguire’s injury, which occurred during the goalless draw at Villa, will also keep him out of action for a few weeks.
However, there’s some positive news for the club as forwards Alejandro Garnacho and Amad Diallo have now resumed training. Previously, both players had missed their international commitments this month due to injury and illness respectively. As a result, they are now available for selection ahead of Saturday’s home fixture against Brentford.
Additionally, Moroccan defender Noussair Mazraoui has made a successful return to training. Earlier, he had been substituted during the Villa match due to illness.
Unfortunately, United’s injury woes continue to mount as several key players remain unavailable. Currently, Luke Shaw, Tyrell Malacia, Mason Mount, and Leny Yoro are all recovering from various injuries. Consequently, these multiple absences have significantly impacted the team’s performance this season.
Most notably, these injury setbacks have contributed to Manchester United’s challenging start to the Premier League campaign. At present, the team occupies 14th position in the league table, having collected just eight points from their opening seven matches.
This concerning situation has placed additional pressure on manager Erik ten Hag, who must now carefully manage his depleted squad while attempting to improve the team’s league position. Moving forward, the return of several players from injury could prove crucial in United’s efforts to climb the Premier League table.
