Matheus Cunha dropped from squad after injury at Man United 🤕 | OneFootball

Carlo Ancelotti had yet another problem to solve among his call-ups for the September FIFA break.

Forward Matheus Cunha had to leave Manchester United's match this Saturday (30th) after experiencing a physical issue.

He went down on the pitch in the 28th minute of the first half during the game against Burnley at Old Trafford.

After receiving quick medical attention, Cunha left the field walking and was replaced by Joshua Zirkzee.

A few hours after the injury, the CBF confirmed the striker's removal from the list of call-ups to represent the Brazilian National Team next month.

Samuel Lino, from Flamengo, was called up in his place.
