In a troubling development for Manchester United, new signing Leny Yoro was forced to leave the pitch just 30 minutes into his debut match, casting uncertainty over his immediate future with the club.
The highly anticipated defender, who joined United from Lille earlier this summer, suffered what appeared to be a lower-leg injury during the first half of the team’s pre-season friendly against a local side. The 19-year-old was seen limping off the field after a seemingly minor challenge and required medical assistance.
Initial assessments suggest a lower-leg injury, but further evaluations are needed to determine the full extent of the damage and establish a recovery timeline.
