Manchester United officially announced Yoro's surgery, and the injury is more serious than expected! Rajue wanted to hide his injuries so that he could buy someone more

Manchester United officially announced on Monday that 18-year-old France centre-back Lenny · Yoro had to undergo surgery due to a fracture of the metatarsal bone in his left foot, and the official statement said the operation was successful, but the player will still be out for about three months. The injury could be extended and can be seen from the likes of Luke · Shaw, Malacia and Anthony Martial last season, all of whom returned later than expected.

Yoro moved from Lille for a whopping €62 million, but was forced off injured in the second warm-up game. Subsequent scans revealed a fracture of the fifth metatarsal in his left foot, but he remained with the team in United States before flying back to Manchester on Monday for a detailed examination and a decision on surgery. British media said this was the worst possible outcome envisaged by Ten Hag.

After surgery, Yoro will miss United's early season games and if he is given a three-month break, he could return before Chelsea's trip to Old Trafford on 2 November. However, due to the need for time to recover after a long absence, his official debut may be even later.

Manchester United have been plagued by injuries of late, particularly at the back, which resulted in the absence of six first-team defenders last season. In the pre-summer game this summer, Manchester United's defenders such as Yoro, Will · Fish, Harry Maguire and Aaron Wan-Bissaka were also injured, while Evans was plagued by illness.

Not just defenders, striker Hojlund will miss six weeks after suffering a hamstring injury in the same pre-season game against Arsenal as Yoro.

According to The Athletic, Manchester United's trip to the United States appeared to be a little nervous due to injuries to Yoro and Hojlund, especially Yoro's serious injury. It has been revealed that Sir Jim· Ratcliffe and INEOS have decided to keep Yoro's injury a secret, and even after the friendly against Arsenal, he was seen on crutches at the team hotel and his metatarsal bone was fractured, and Manchester United officials did not react.

The takeover of Yoro from Real Madrid was considered a shining symbol of the new owner, so he was quickly absent with a serious injury after joining, seriously undermining the optimism. But the paper could not contain the fire, because Yoro remained with the team in the United States, and when a video of him on crutches and wearing protective boots appeared, United had to release his diagnosis.

Attempts to keep Yoro's injury a secret are also due to other ongoing signings talks. For example, the club is now sure to speed up the introduction of Bayern Munich's Mattheis · De Ligt.

However, Bayern know that United are now more anxious to buy a new centre-back, and are more hawkish on the transfer of 24-year-old Netherlands international De Ligt, and the asking price of a fixed transfer fee of 50 million euros will certainly not be reduced.

After a succession of injuries, United have also adjusted their training and rehabilitation programmes in an attempt to avoid injuries by controlling the load on their players. The team doctor used "sweat tablets" to measure fluid loss during the game to adjust the amount of water intake, and installed an ice bath next to the rooftop pool of the team hotel, which is believed to help speed up the body's recovery.

With Manchester United back at Carrington, Ten Hag will welcome back a number of key players, with Lisandro· Martinez, Luke · Shaw, Diogu· Darlow, Bryant · Mayno, Bruno· Fernandes, Garnacho and Zirkze already waiting at the training base. The 54-year-old will have the time to decide this week whether they can play directly in the Community Shield against Manchester City at Wembley on Saturday.
