Terrible news hits Manchester United as the club suffer fresh setback as official details of Kobbie Mainoo and Amad Diallo’s injury come to light.

Manchester United Face Another Setback as Kobbie Mainoo’s Injury Timeline Revealed

 

Manchester United are set to be without Kobbie Mainoo until at least the end of March, adding to the growing challenges for Ruben Amorim.

 

The young midfielder sustained a calf injury during training and was absent from United’s 1-0 defeat against Tottenham on Sunday. With injuries and illness depleting the squad, Amorim had only one senior player available on the bench for the match.

 

United currently sit in 15th place in the Premier League, enduring their worst season in over five decades. Their struggles show no signs of easing ahead of a tough fixture against Everton on Saturday. While the club has not officially confirmed a recovery timeline, The Daily Star reports that Mainoo is unlikely to return until after the next international break.

 

This means the 19-year-old is expected to be sidelined until at least April 1, when United face Nottingham Forest. His absence also impacts Thomas Tuchel, who recently took over as England manager. Tuchel, set to announce his first squad for upcoming World Cup qualifiers, will now be without Mainoo for matches against Albania and Latvia.

 

United’s Injury Crisis Deepens

 

Mainoo’s absence compounds an already lengthy injury list for United. He will miss upcoming fixtures against Everton, Ipswich, Fulham, Arsenal, and Leicester. Meanwhile, Amad Diallo has been ruled out for the season following ankle surgery, Lisandro Martinez is sidelined with a knee issue, and Jonny Evans continues to struggle with a back problem. Other key players, including Mason Mount, Luke Shaw, Manuel Ugarte, and Christian Eriksen, have also been unavailable due to injuries or illness.

 

Despite his injury, Mainoo joined teammates Alejandro Garnacho, Joshua Zirkzee, Ayden Heaven, and Ugarte for a team bonding session, where they played bowling, darts, shuffleboard, and table tennis before heading to a steakhouse for dinner.

 

Amorim remains under pressure to turn things around but acknowledges the difficulty of his task. Following the Spurs defeat, he stated:

 

> “I have a lot of problems. My job is very difficult, but I’m committed to continuing and focusing on the next game. Our priority is keeping players fit, recovering those who are injured, and doing everything possible to finish the season on a positive note.”

 

 

 

With injuries piling up and results worsening, United’s situation remains precarious as Amorim

looks for solutions.
