(Football news) Yoro joined the Red Devils just two days prior to his debut, which came against the Rangers. He then accompanied his new teammates on their preseason tour of the United States.

Despite being in the starting lineup against Arsenal on Saturday, the 18-year-old had to be substituted late in the first half due to what appeared to be an ankle injury.

“We have to wait 24 hours and then we will hopefully know more,” Ten Hag said to MUTV following the game. We took great care, particularly with Leny. Although it is upsetting that he had to leave, let’s remain optimistic and watch what transpires.”

Manchester United have not provided an official update on the centre-back, but a video has now emerged of him on crutches and in a protective boot making his way towards the club’s team bus.

As a result, it seems highly unlikely that the Frenchman will feature in the remainder of the US Tour, with Manchester United still having matches to come against Real Betis and Liverpool.

The Red Devils will then head back to England to prepare for the Community Shield against Manchester City on August 10, with their new Premier League campaign beginning six days later against Fulham.

It remains to be seen whether Manchester United issue an official update in the coming days, but it would now be a surprise if Yoro was fit for the early stages of the campaign.

The club had severe injury problems throughout last season, and Yoro was not the only player to go off injured against Arsenal, with Rasmus Hojlund also limping off the field with an apparent hamstring issue.

What is the latest injury news on Hojlund?

Hojlund found the back of the net against Arsenal before being forced off the field soon after.

Manchester United are also yet to provide an update on the Denmark international, but it is understood that his withdrawal was a precaution after feeling something in his hamstring.

Hojlund is not expected to be available for Wednesday’s pre-season clash with Real Betis, but he could yet feature before the club’s US Tour concludes.

While a scan on Hojlund’s hamstring would have shown any damage immediately, the situation with Yoro is more complicated due to the swelling which is likely to have occurred.

Manchester United may have to wait a further few days before scanning the impacted area, but depending on the seriousness of the damage, Yoro could face anywhere between one week and several months out.
