Leny Yoro will miss three months.
Leny Yoro, who signed a deal with Manchester United this summer that may be valued up to £58.9 million, was forced off the field due to injury during the team’s preseason friendly against Arsenal in Los Angeles last weekend. The 18-year-old has a five-year contract at Old Trafford.
Following extensive treatment, Yoro hobbled off the field in the 35th minute of last weekend’s preseason friendly against Arsenal. He was later observed using crutches and had a protective boot on his left foot.
The 18-year-old defender chose to continue with the team while on tour, with more evaluation to be completed upon his return to the UK. He signed a five-year contract worth up to £58.9 million with United this summer, replacing Lille.
Hojlund scored a goal against Arsenal, however he was substituted in the sixteenth minute and will not be available for the season’s opening. Hojlund’s injury was not as serious as first thought, and it is not expected that he will return in two to three weeks.
Following a strong challenge that appeared to have injured Marcus Rashford’s right ankle, United had additional injury concerns during their 3-2 triumph over Real Betis on Thursday morning. Antony was also substituted off due to a hand issue.
