Man Utd Lose Højlund and Yoro to Injuries in 2-1 Pre-Season Defeat to Arsenal
In a challenging pre-season encounter, Manchester United faced a tough 2-1 loss against Arsenal at SoFi Stadium, marred by injuries to two key players.
Rasmus Højlund and Leny Yoro were both forced to leave the field due to injuries, casting a shadow over the team’s performance.
Højlund, who had given United an early lead with his goal, experienced a muscle issue just 13 minutes into the game.
Despite his effort to continue, he was unable to continue and walked off the pitch before heading straight to the tunnel for further evaluation.
Similarly, Leny Yoro, who had recently been signed from Lille for £52 million, was also withdrawn from the match midway through the first half.
The 18-year-old was visibly limping as he made his way towards the dressing room, raising concerns about the severity of his injury.
The early exits of both players disrupted Manchester United’s strategy and contributed to their defeat in this pre-season fixture.
Chelsea player Enzo Fernández is in discussions to join Manchester City. This information was revealed by Fabrizio Romano, who shared that the two clubs are discussing a potential deal.
He wrote: “Enzo Fernández has a verbal agreement with Manchester City on personal terms.
“Deal depends on club-to-club decision, as #MCFC have not sent an official bid yet, but contacts will take place soon; decision on price is up to Chelsea.
“Enzo could be out again this weekend.”
Manchester City manager Enzo Maresca mentions his captains for the team. He mentions Rúben Dias and Erling Haaland.
He shared “We have experienced players. For sure, we have leaders. Now we need to wait four or five more days until the transfer window closes to see if we can add one or two more captains to Ruben [Dias] and Erling , who at the moment are the two captains.”
Maresca confirmed the pair as part of his leadership group ahead of the 2026/27 season, with two more captains expected to be selected after the transfer window closes.
Chelsea manager speaks on the team and shares thoughts on considering a change in goalkeepers, giving another goalkeeper, Mike Penders, a chance.
“Penders is part of the squad, so he has an opportunity. We will decide and then I am giving the team tomorrow to the players, so I prefer to respect that they know first.”
