Manchester United have announced that Harry Maguire, their defender, will be sidelined for several weeks as a result of an injury sustained during a match against Aston Villa.
Maguire, along with Kobbie Mainoo, is the most recent player to be sidelined due to fitness concerns, and the Red Devils have been dealt a significant setback.
The England international sustained an injury during the match against Aston Villa and was subsequently unable to participate in the Three Lions’ international matches against Finland and Greece.
Maguire and other players were updated by the club on Thursday. Mainoo is also anticipated to be sidelined for an extended period due to a muscle injury.
Man United confirmed that Mason Mount and Luke Shaw are still recuperating from their injuries, despite the positive updates they had on Noussair Mazraoui, Alejandro Garnacho, and Amad Diallo.
The club’s official website issued a statement that verified the information regarding Mainoo and Maguire. Both players were anticipated to be included in the starting lineup against Brentford, provided that they were healthy.
The club’s official statement was as follows:
“Noussair Mazraoui, Alejandro Garnacho, and Amad have resumed training after being absent from their respective national teams during the international break.”
“Manuel Ugarte participated in World Cup qualifiers after returning from international duty with Uruguay and conducting a recovery session.”
“Tyrell Malacia continued his recovery from a long-term injury by participating in the initial portion of the group session.”
“Kobbie Mainoo and Harry Maguire were absent due to muscle injuries sustained during the match against Villa. It is anticipated that they will be sidelined for a few weeks.”
“Mason Mount is making steady progress in his recuperation from a knock incurred against Tottenham Hotspur, while Luke Shaw is recovering from a muscle injury.
This is not favorable news for the club, but it is particularly detrimental to the manager, who is currently experiencing difficulties at Old Trafford.
Ten Hag’s future at the club is uncertain, and according to a report, he has been granted two games to preserve his position at the Premier League heavyweights.
