Manchester United's Leny Yoro Faces Injury Setback

Manchester United's new signing, Leny Yoro, has found himself in a challenging situation following his recent injury during the pre-season friendly against Arsenal. The 18-year-old French international joined the club from Lille in a significant deal worth £58.9 million on July 18 and was eagerly anticipated to be a vital part of the team's success this season.

The Injury Incident

During the match against Arsenal, which resulted in a narrow 2-1 defeat for United at the SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, Yoro had to be substituted in the first half due to his injury. Since that day, he has been unable to participate in training, raising concerns among the coaching staff and fans alike about his fitness.

Current Condition and Precautions

On Tuesday, Yoro was spotted using crutches and wearing a protective boot as he boarded the Manchester United team bus. This sight provoked fears of a potentially extended absence from action for the promising player. The club has reassured supporters that while crutches and protective gear are often utilized as a precautionary measure for assessing injuries, there has not yet been a definitive prognosis regarding the severity of Yoro's condition.

Upcoming Matches and Concerns

With the next pre-season friendly against Real Betis scheduled to kick off at 3 am UK time on Thursday, Yoro is not expected to feature in this crucial match. Manager Erik ten Hag has remained tight-lipped, not addressing the media since the injury, but is set to hold a pre-match press conference at 12:30 am UK time on Friday ahead of their clash against Liverpool on Saturday.

Impact on the Season

The unfortunate timing of Yoro's injury raises concerns about his availability for the start of the 2024/25 Premier League season. Manchester United will open their campaign against Fulham at home, with the match scheduled for 8 pm on Friday, August 16. This is followed by an away game at Brighton and a highly anticipated derby against Liverpool on September 1.
