Man Utd Injury News And Return Dates: Updates On Harry Maguire, Carlos Baleba & 4 Others
Man Utd centre-back Harry Maguire was forced to leave the pitch in the closing stages of the 3-2 win over Roma on Tuesday night.
The 33-year-old was seen hobbling off, with manager Michael Carrick expressing concern about his fitness.
Matthijs de Ligt replaced Carrick for the final few minutes as the Red Devils secured a massive three points in the Champions League.
However, no update on Maguire’s injury was provided after the game, and he is a doubt to face Aston Villa this weekend.
Expected Return Date – Unknown
Carlos Baleba
The midfielder is likely to be sidelined for several weeks with a hamstring injury he sustained against Roma.
Baleba pulled up at a crucial moment, having dribbled inside his opponent’s six-yard box. Asked about the 22-year-old’s fitness after the game, Carrick said:
“I haven’t got any more news on Carlos at this stage, but it’s his hamstring. We’ll have to assess what that looks like, but initially, it doesn’t look great.”
Baleba will obviously not be back before the international break, and his estimated recovery period will depend on how serious the hamstring tear is.
Expected Return Date – Late November to December
