Manchester United's 62 million new signings appeared on crutches, wearing a protective boot on his left foot! The reporter who followed the team revealed that the situation is not optimistic

Manchester United's €62 million signing of France defender Lenny · Yoro was forced off in the first half with a left ankle injury in his second game against Arsenal. The 18-year-old looked frustrated as he left the pitch, comforted by former captain Harry Maguire and French-speaking team-mates Hannibal· Mejbri, Amad · Diallo. After the injury, Yoro made his first public appearance, and was photographed on crutches and foot support, and it seemed that the injury was not optimistic.

Lenny was already limping when he was substituted, and his condition still did not improve when he boarded the team bus with Manchester United team-mate Maxi · O'Ledler. It was rumored on social media that Yoro had a minor fracture of his left ankle and would require further examination, possibly missing six to eight weeks. If this news is true, it will mean that he will not be able to start the new season.

However, that is not true news, and there is no mention of Yoro's injury in Manchester United officials or most of the English media. Wearing crutches and protective boots does not mean that you have a serious injury, because sometimes players with minor injuries will also use them to protect the injured area and avoid taking on too much gravity. Red Devils captain Bruno · Fernandez, for example, had the experience of playing on crutches but continued to play in the next game.

However, United Kingdom Sky Sports' Manchester United women's team reporter Melissa ·Reddy has revealed that fans "would be right to be concerned" about Yoro's injury, suggesting that his injury is not serious, and Ten Hag is expected to release more details during his pre-match press conference with Real Betis on Thursday.

In the past, the young Yoro has rarely been injured in Ligue 1 Lille, and his only injury statistic was in October 2023, missing three days due to adductor discomfort and missing a game. But many players who have not been injured much in the past have been injured at Manchester United, such as Yoro's potential centre-back partner Lisandro · Martinez. Lima has only one serious injury at Ajax, missing a total of 13 games, while he has suffered four major injuries since arriving at Manchester United, missing 46 games!

Of course, there are also positive and optimistic fans, and the experience of Kobe · Meno last season inspired Yoro not to be depressed even if he is injured. For the skinny France, an ankle injury does not affect the strength of his upper body, which may be good for him to adapt to the Premier League.

Speaking about the injury in pre-season last season, Diallo recalled: "It wasn't easy for me after the injury, I had a long break but the most important thing was to come back stronger and help the team and in the end I was happy with my contribution. I forgot the past, and now I think about the present. I'm looking forward to the new season, I'm very excited and I believe in the coach. Last season I knew I didn't play much, but this season is going to be a good season for everyone and I'm looking forward to it."

Speaking about the battle for places in the new season, Diallo said: "I think everybody wants to play, so you have to give it your all in training and get into the starting line-up. Everybody wants to play, we have a good team, good players, Antony, Sancho, Garnacho, Marcus Rashford, so in the end the boss decides who comes on and who sits on the bench. But when you're not playing, you need to be ready and when you're on the bench, you can watch the game. Everybody in the team is important."

Hojlund, who left injured earlier than Joloro, is no longer in serious trouble, and Sky Sports confirmed that the hamstring of the Denmark's £73 million centre-forward is ultimately no major problem and will soon be back in action.

However, there is a real possibility that Yoro will have to be sidelined for an extended period of time, which would be a huge blow to United, who may need to bring in another new centre-back and keep existing players such as Harry Maguire.
