JAKARTA - Manchester United had to lose new defender Leny Yoro until November 2024. Yoro suffered a leg injury in the test match against Arsenal. He also had to undergo surgery to recover the metatarsal injury to his left leg.

Yoro picked up an injury in a test match that forced him to be withdrawn in the first half. After undergoing an examination, the defender who was brought in from Lille for 60 million had to undergo surgery.

Yoro also went up to the operating table on Monday, August 5, 2024 local time. The operation went smoothly and he also had to undergo a recovery of at least three months. This means that the 18-year-old defender will miss a number of important matches until November.

MU's Community Shield match against English Premier League champions Manchester City at Wembley London Stadium, Saturday, August 10, 2024, which opened the competition and was forced without Yoro's presence. The match was a repeat of the FA Cup final when MU won 2-1 over Man City.

Yoro will also miss the crucial match against Liverpool, Tottenham Hotspur and Aston Villa. But he is predicted to be able to play and make his debut when Manchester United host Chelsea in the Premier League at Old Trafford, November 2, 2024. "This is a start I don't want. But that's football," Yoro said on his social media account after undergoing surgery.

"The operation went smoothly. I am grateful for the support given. Now, I have to be patient in recovering. See you again when I am in a stronger condition," he said, who also posted a quote from one of the verses in the Bible.

Yoro's injury caused MU to experience a crisis in the back sector. Manager Erik ten Hag is also in danger of losing defender Aaron Wan way Bissaka, Victor Lindelof, and Jonny Evans who suffered injuries in the last trial against Liverpool.

MU picked up bad results in the pre-season tour series. The team not only lost but also lost players due to injury. At least six defenders are doubtful about appearing in the Community Shield match.

In the forward sector, MU also lost striker Rasmus Hojlund who suffered a hamstring injury. Hojlund's injury that forced him to rest for six weeks was also experienced in the match against Arsenal.

Repotnya, striker anyar Joshua Zirkzee belum menyetel dengan tim sehingga dirinya kemungkinan tak menjadi pekutan lini depan The Red Devils. Ten Hag justru mempertimbangkan Jadon Sancho menjadi false 9 di laga melawan Man City.
