Manchester United defender Leny Yoro has been spotted wearing a protective boot and using crutches at the club’s training base at UCLA. Yoro, 18, sustained an injury during the first half of United’s pre-season defeat to Arsenal at the SoFi stadium in Los Angeles on Saturday.
Yoro, who recently joined United from Lille in a £52m move on 18 July, could barely put any weight on his left foot as he left the pitch. He was seen boarding the team bus with the protective boot, raising concerns about a potential long-term absence. The club is currently assessing the extent of his injury.
Manager Erik ten Hag has not commented on the injury yet and is scheduled to speak at a pre-match press conference on Thursday at 16:30 local time (00:30 BST Friday) ahead of United’s game against Liverpool in South Carolina. Meanwhile, United will face La Liga’s Real Betis in the second game of their three-match US tour in San Diego on Wednesday at 19:00 (03:00 BST Thursday).
