Manchester United/Leny Yoro’s Injury: The first verdict is known

Manchester, EnglandJust two weeks into his tenure at Manchester United, 18-year-old French central defender Leny Yoro has been diagnosed with a metatarsal fracture.

 

This injury, revealed by Chris Wheeler of the Daily Mail, poses a significant setback for the young player, likely sidelining him for up to two months and jeopardizing the start of his season.

 

Yoro, who was acquired for a substantial €62 million fee, was seen as a crucial addition to Manchester United’s defense following the departure of Raphaël Varane this summer.

 

He impressed fans and critics alike with his debut performance. However, his promising start was abruptly interrupted when he was forced off the pitch due to the injury in his second appearance against Arsenal.

 

The timing of the injury is particularly unfortunate as Manchester United, under the management of Erik ten Hag, are set to begin their campaign with the Community Shield final against Manchester City on August 10th, followed by their Premier League opener against Fulham on August 16th.

 

Yoro’s absence will be a significant blow for the Red Devils, who had high hopes for the young star’s impact on their defensive lineup.

 

As the team prepares for a challenging start to the season, they must now strategize without one of their key new signings, hoping for a swift and complete recovery for Yoro.
