Manchester United’s Coach Ruben Amorim Confirms Injuries Before Derby
Ruben Amorim, the head coach of Manchester United, confirmed that defender Diogo Dalot, along with Mason Mount and Matheus Cunha, will be sidelined for the upcoming Manchester derby due to injuries.
Dalot withdrew from the Portuguese national team last week due to reported muscle discomfort during training. Coach Amorim stated that he will not be fit to participate in the high-stakes encounter against Manchester City.
Dalot is one of the eight players who have participated in all four of the club’s matches this season, and his absence will have a significant impact as both Mount and Cunha are also unavailable after picking up injuries during the match against Burnley.
United alluded to potential replacements for Dalot through their social media channels, showcasing clips of players including Patrick Dorgu, who is likely to step in at right-wing-back.
Dorgu started and played the full 90 minutes during his Manchester derby debut earlier this year, whereas Dalot typically occupies that position. Their previous match ended in a goalless draw, highlighting the need for a solid defensive performance.
Fans are eagerly waiting to see how the team adapts to the absence of these crucial players as the Manchester derby approaches. United aims to strategize effectively to maintain their competitive edge despite the injuries.
