🗣 Solskjær: “Unfortunately, it’s worse news on Alex Telles than we hoped for, his ankle injury is a little bit more severe than we hoped and he’ll be out for a little spell at least, the whole of August I would think.” [MU]

On Harry Maguire.... ⬇️⬇️ As we’ve said from the beginning, difficult to play on high ankle injuries. Trying to play thru makes player a target - risks further injury & longer recovery. #EPL #MUFC #PremierLeague #MUNFUL #EuropaLeagueFinal

This admission (“tear”) from Kevin De Bruyne suggests this medial/high ankle sprain was Gr 2 (& not mild sprain as previously reported). Not in favor of playing thru these TBH. Lets hope no further damage done. #BEL #EURO2020 #MCI #MCFC #EPL @City_Xtra

Kevin De Bruyne to Sporza: “This is a disappointment, but we have tried everything to win this game. For me personally it have been a strange 4-5 weeks with the injuries. I had a tear in my ankle ligament. But I have to thank the medical staff.”

Manchester Utd’s Luke Shaw suffered a left wrist ligament tear at seasons end. Didnt disclose which one. Commonly injured in wrist is the scapholunate ligament - usually from fall on outstretched hand (FOOSH injury) #EPL #MUFC @utdarena #ManUtd #PremierLeague @utdreport

Wolves’ Petro #Neto will have surgery to repair torn lateral ligaments. ATFL is most commonly torn followed by CFL. PTFL the least. While most treated conservatively, surgical repair is an option in elite athletes, especially ⚽️. 10-12 wks typically #Wolves #EPL

Mason Greenwood withdraws from #eng provisional squad “ in order to recover fully from an underlying injury” say #mufc . Pity. Huge talent, two-footed, ice in his veins in the area, balance, fearless, big player for his country in the future as well as already for club.

Ole walking back a bit of the optimism from yesterday on Harry Maguire. Boot/crutches says it all. As discussed yesterday, high ankle sprains are hard to play thru (joint stressed with rotation). Also risk of worsening & could put Euro’s in jeopardy. #EPL #MUFC #PremierLeague

Concerned about this Donny van de Beek injury Right knee hyperextension + forced valgus (knee buckles inward) ♦️Best case escapes w/ bone bruise/capsule sprain ♦️Concern/risk for cruciate injury (ACL/PCL), MCL, meniscus Expect xrays to exclude fracture, then MRI #EPL #MUFC #MUN

Donny van de Beek Latest: @ManUtd only released “season ending” By video, we suspect its a multi-ligament injury ACL/MCL/meniscus coming under high stress + post translation to affect PCL. Poss fracture Expected for preseason. Seems bit optimistic! #EPL #MUFC 📷 Getty (Right)

Fully agree. Another failure of 🧠 safety in football. WHY was Sadio #Mane allowed to play on? No defensive bracing & face planting = concern for loss of consciousness. Removed several min later but should have gone off on initial incident. Shameful! #AFCON2021 #EPL #LiverpoolFC
