Manchester United have announced that defender Lenny Yoro has successfully undergone surgery for a foot injury he sustained during a pre-season clash against Arsenal in Los Angeles. The 18-year-old summer recruit is anticipated to be sidelined until October as he begins his recovery process. Despite the successful operation, Yoro will miss around three months of action, which includes a significant number of Premier League fixtures and the early stages of United’s Europa League and Carabao Cup campaigns.

 

 

 

Yoro’s absence will be felt across nine Premier League games, including crucial encounters with Liverpool, Tottenham, and Aston Villa. The club issued a statement expressing optimism about his recovery, saying, “Yoro’s rehabilitation is underway, and we are hopeful that the 18-year-old will return to full fitness within the next three months.” During this period, United will need to navigate key matches without the promising young defender, who was expected to play a pivotal role in their defensive lineup.
