Injury Woes for Young Talent
Manchester United’s recent acquisition, 18-year-old Leny Yoro, has been spotted on crutches and donning a protective boot at the club’s training facilities in Los Angeles, sparking concerns about his fitness ahead of the new season. The French defender’s injury occurred during a pre-season clash with Arsenal, where he had to leave the pitch in the first half supported by a physio after a non-contact ankle injury.
Club’s Cautious Approach with Yoro
Erik ten Hag, United’s manager, expressed the team’s cautious approach regarding Yoro, particularly since the player had only participated in a limited number of training sessions prior to the incident. Despite initial optimism that the injury was not severe, the sight of Yoro on crutches has raised alarms about the extent of his injury, which is currently under assessment by the club’s medical team.
A High-Profile Transfer and High Hopes
Yoro’s transfer to Manchester United from Lille earlier this month came with a hefty £52 million price tag. Upon joining the prestigious club, Yoro acknowledged the honor of signing with Manchester United so early in his career, citing the club’s clear plan for his development and the history of nurturing young talent. His ambition to reach his potential and achieve success with the team is now on hold as he recovers.
Double Injury Concern for United
Adding to United’s pre-season troubles, striker Rasmus Hojlund also appeared to suffer from an injury during the same match against Arsenal. The forward had to leave the field with what seemed to be a hamstring problem, compounding the challenges for ten Hag as he prepares the squad for the upcoming campaign.
