Mainoo, Maguire Sidelined As Man Utd’s Injury Woes Continue

October 18, (THEWILL) – Manchester United teenage midfielder, Kobbie Mainoo, will be unavailable for several weeks due to a muscle injury sustained during the match against Aston Villa earlier this month. The English Premier League club announced this development on Thursday.

The absence of the 19-year-old from England’s recent Nations League fixtures against Greece and Finland was attributed to this injury. His teammate, Harry Maguire, is also sidelined for a few weeks following an injury incurred during that goalless draw at Villa.

On a more positive note, forwards Alejandro Garnacho and Amad Diallo have resumed training ahead of Saturday’s home game against Brentford. Both players had missed international duty this month due to injury and illness respectively. Additionally, Morocco defender Noussair Mazraoui has returned to training after being substituted at Villa due to illness.

The injury list at Old Trafford continues to grow, with Luke Shaw, Tyrell Malacia, Mason Mount, and Leny Yoro all currently unavailable for selection. These absences have contributed to United’s challenging start to the season, as they currently occupy 14th position in the league table with eight points from seven matches.

Despite these setbacks, the return of Garnacho, Diallo, and Mazraoui to training provides a glimmer of hope for manager Erik ten Hag as he prepares his squad for the upcoming fixture against Brentford at Old Trafford.
