Inside Carrington’s treatment room: Amad facing surgery and Mainoo, Yoro, Ugarte updates | OneFootball

Ruben Amorim has been dealt an unlucky hand on the injury front in recent weeks.

Indeed, the Manchester United boss is currently navigating the absences of a host of integral first-team stars, with Amad Diallo and Lisandro Martinez confirmed to be out for the season with an ankle complaint and anterior cruciate ligament issue, respectively.

Amad was undoubtedly on his way to being named the side’s Player of the Season had his prolific form continued. Crunch goals against Manchester City and Liverpool, as well as a late hat-trick against Southampton, had seen him quickly establish himself as Amorim’s most reliable forward – hence why his layoff came as a gutting blow for supporters.

Per Mail Sport’s United Confidential column, the Ivorian livewire may have to undergo surgery for the ankle ligaments he damaged in training last week. Martinez has already endured a successful operation to correct his ACL tear.

Elsewhere, Kobbie Mainoo is hoping to return from a calf strain around the start of March for the team’s last-16 Europa League action, while Christian Eriksen and Leny Yoro, who were missing for last Sunday’s defeat to Tottenham Hotspur, are expected to be fit for the weekend’s early kick-off against Everton.

Manuel Ugarte and Toby Collyer’s injuries ‘are not thought to be serious’, so they, too, will presumably be back at Amorim’s disposal in the near future.

After United’s final trip to Goodson Park this Saturday, the Reds then face Ipswich Town on Wednesday, February 26, before hosting Fulham for a fifth-round FA Cup tie on Sunday, March 2. They are currently 15th-placed in the table – therefore on course to oversee their worst-ever Premier League finish on record.
