Manchester United injury update: Amad Diallo, Kobbie Mainoo and Leny Yoro latest news and return dates | OneFootball

Ruben Amorim has lost five players over the past week

Manchester United have suffered a nightmare week with injuries like which has rarely been seen.

Having already lost Lisandro Martinez for the rest of the season, and seen Luke Shaw suffer yet another setback, star youngster Amad Diallo has now seen his campaign end early after an accident in training, and Kobbie Mainoo be ruled out for a number of weeks.

Here’s all the latest on Manchester United’s injuries…

Amad Diallo

Amad Diallo has suffered his season-ending injury,with ankle ligament damage suffered in training this week in a significant blow to manager Ruben Amorim.

“Amad was alone [when he got injured],” the manager said on Sunday. “He was doing a tackle. The feet were stuck in the grass.”

Potential return date: August 2025

Kobbie Mainoo

Manchester United hope Mainoo will be able to return in a matter of weeks, rather than months.

The midfielder picked up the knock during training, and the initial prognosis was for a two-to-three-week absence, but that has now been revised to up to six weeks.

Potential return date: April 2025

Manuel Ugarte

The summer signing has been a mainstay in Amorim’s side but missed the win over Spurs after picking up a knock in training. It left Casemiro and Bruno Fernandes as they only two fit senior midfielders for the trip to Spurs, while teenager Jack Moorhouse was named on the bench.

It remains unclear when Ugarte will return, but it is not expected to be a long-term absence.

Potential return date: Late February

Leny Yoro

Leny Yoro was a surprise absentee at Spurs, with Ruben Amorim confirming that the young defender was one of two players who were struck down with illness ahead of the game.

He said: “Some players felt sickness during training. We will try everything to have the players fit. In one week, we lost so many players ... Leny and Chris were sick, so they will recover.”

Potential return date: Late February

Christian Eriksen

The veteran midfielder was another who suffered with illness and could not face his former side.

Elaborating on Eriksen’s condition, Amorim said: “Of course, Chris has the heart situation and we have to be really careful with that.

“It’s nothing to do with the heart, but the heart rate just has to be controlled because he has a fever.”

Lisandro Martinez

Lisandro Martinez suffered a serious knee injury in the defeat at home to Crystal Palace earlier this month.

United have confirmed Martinez damaged his cruciate ligament and, according to reports he is expected to be ruled out for six months to a year after undergoing surgery successfully.

Potential return date: Late 2025

Luke Shaw

Luke Shaw’s injury problems have continued this season.

After recently returning to training, Amorim confirmed Shaw had suffered a small setback in his recovery when speaking before the Leicester game.

There have been reports that Shaw faces another four weeks out but conflicting reports say he could return to training this week.

Potential return date: March 2025

Toby Collyer

The young midfielder is enjoying a more prominent role under Ruben Amorim, but his progress has been halted but an injury picked up in training.

Collyer “felt something” during the week while training, and faces an as-yet-unspecified period on the sidelines.
