REVEALED: Latest injury for Man Utd defender Bailly via car accident

Manchester United defender Eric Bailly is battling a fresh injury setback.

The Daily Mail says Bailly is battling to be fit for United's clash with Everton at Old Trafford at the end of a difficult few weeks in which he was hurt in a car accident close to the club's training ground.

Bailly was a passenger in a car that skidded on ice and collided with a tree stump on a back road out of Carrington before last week's shock defeat against Sheffield United.

The Ivory Coast defender had a large plaster over an injury to his shin and missed the game, but returned on the bench for the last two matches against Arsenal and Southampton.

However, Bailly has suffered a fresh injury in training and will have a fitness test on Saturday morning to see if he can face Carlo Ancelotti's Everton.
