Injury woes for Manchester United as goalkeeper Andre Onana faces assessment after World Cup Qualifier
Posted : 19 November 2023
Goalkeeper Andre Onana will undergo assessment at Manchester United after sustaining an injury while playing for Cameroon in a World Cup qualifier. The 27-year-old was substituted in the 81st minute of Cameroon's 3-0 victory over Mauritius, and the nature and severity of the injury have not been disclosed by Cameroon officials.
Onana, who joined United from Inter Milan for £47.2m in July, has been a consistent presence, playing in all 18 competitive fixtures this season. United's manager, Erik ten Hag, is grappling with multiple injury concerns as the team prepares for upcoming Premier League and Champions League matches.
Cameroon's Onana has withdrawn from the squad for the Tuesday match against Libya due to the undisclosed injury suffered during the World Cup qualifier. The absence of specific details about the injury has raised concerns, and Onana's return to Manchester United for assessment will shed light on the extent of the issue.
This development adds to the injury woes faced by United, as several key players, including Lisandro Martinez, Casemiro, and Christian Eriksen, are already ruled out, while others like Luke Shaw, Jonny Evans, Tyrell Malacia, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, and Rasmus Hojlund face uncertainty about their fitness for upcoming matches.
United manager Erik ten Hag faces a challenging scenario with the injury concerns, especially with key players like Andre Onana sidelined. The upcoming matches against Everton in the Premier League and Galatasaray in the Champions League pose significant challenges, and the absence of several players due to injuries adds complexity to the squad management. As the team returns from the international break, assessing and managing the fitness of the players will be crucial for United's performance in the upcoming fixtures.
