Michael Carrick has provided an update on Carlos Baleba after the midfielder was forced off during Manchester United’s Champions League win over Roma.
The Cameroon international made a promising run into the Roma box shortly after half-time but then pulled up just as it looked like he would get a shot away.
Baleba immediately grabbed his hamstring and it soon became clear that the medical team would not be able to prolong his evening.
The 22-year-old was in tears as he made his way off the pitch and Carrick said the injury ‘doesn’t look great’ in his post-match press conference.

‘I haven’t got any more news on Carlos at this stage but obviously it’s his hamstring and we’ll have to assess it more in the next few days,’ Carrick said.
‘Initially it doesn’t look great but I haven’t got much more to give you than that in terms of a timeframe or anything.’
