Leny Yoro seen in crutches after Manchester United’s training session

Manchester United’s newest signing, Leny Yoro, has been seen on crutches in a boot outside UCLA after United’s recent training session.

The 18-year-old suffered an injury during the 2-1 defeat to Arsenal in the previous pre-season friendly, which saw him taken off after 35 minutes.

This development marks a significant setback for United.

Erik ten Hag will be hoping that Yoro’s injury is not severe, as it could hinder what has otherwise been a promising start to the new season.

The young French defender was expected to play a crucial role in Ten Hag’s plans for the 2024/25 campaign.

Should the injury prove to be serious, it is likely that United will intensify their search for another centre-back.

Yoro’s potential absence would be a considerable blow to the squad’s depth and stability at the back.

Ten Hag’s defensive strategy heavily relies on having a robust and reliable backline, and the loss of a promising talent like him could force a tactical rethink.

United fans will be anxiously awaiting further updates on the 18 year old’s condition.

Victor Lindelof, who was absent for the pre-season games against Rosenborg and Rangers is back in full training and could be ready to face Real Betis on Thursday.

Lindelof emphasized the importance of the pre-season tour for fitness and team building, stating, “Obviously, first, the fitness, so that we are ready for when the games are coming, and obviously just building the group and working on the details.”

The 30 year old’s return to the squad comes at a crucial time, with the update on Yoro’s condition still pending.

The club’s medical team will be assessing the extent of the injury, and an official statement is expected soon. Until then, the sight of Yoro on crutches casts a shadow over United’s pre-season preparations.
