Alert: 2016/17 Manchester United injury report

Ashur · Aug 27, 2016

Not the most enjoyable part of all this obviously but injuries are parts and parcel of the game. Hopefully, under Mourinho this thread will not be as prevalent as it used to be under the previous regime...

Back to miscontrolling the ball, attempting long passes and giving free kicks away on the edge of our penalty area.

Inb4 the yearly defensive injury crisis.

Ashur · Aug 28, 2016

Mourinho spoke of a muscle injury in his back on regards to Fellaini. Back spasms perhaps. Curious to see how long he will be out.

Pulp · Aug 28, 2016

If it's spasms then that will be a major concern for him, as those are often chronic injuries, with little chance of full recovery.

Teso Dos Bichos · Aug 31, 2016

Mkhitaryan limped off injured this evening.

sdotsom · Aug 31, 2016

It sounded like it was precautionary. Hopefully so.

NYCTomek · Aug 31, 2016

I had a feeling this would happen. F the international break. Granted, it's The Sun, but the speculation that he will now miss the Manchester derby has already begun. Hope he is okay, we need him desperately against Man City.

Of course, Rooney will come back from England duty unscathed....

Ashur · Aug 31, 2016

We will not know anything concrete on Miki's status he's been properly assessed and some kind of scan has been performed. Just need to keep our fingers crossed and hope for the best...

Well, I am certainly hoping for the best. He still plays for Armenia, yes?

Ashur · Sep 1, 2016

Looks like some kind of knee injury for Miki.

******** off.

MizzouMUFC · Sep 1, 2016

Are you ********ing kidding me.

Ashur · Sep 1, 2016

The full extent of it seems to be still unknown apparently and Miki himself doesn't think that it's all that serious. He was asked if he could play over the w/e by some Armenian fans and he answered "I hope so." reportedly. Make of it what you will...

MizzouMUFC · Sep 1, 2016

looked like a knee on knee collision. Probably nothing serious but his knee coukd lock up pretty bad if he doesn't get the swelling under control. Hopefully he's ready to go. If not, drop Mata and let Rashford run at people from the right

sdotsom · Sep 1, 2016

MEN reporting that Mhiki has stated he's hopefully going to be available for Denmark. So hopefully it was nothing at all and he'll be available for us. I'd hate to see him push for Denmark.

JC7rox · Sep 1, 2016

But we NEED international football 3 games into a club season.

Yea just bring him back here for "monitoring" and let him recuperate.

Ashur · Sep 1, 2016

Some discrepancies apparently on the nature of his injury, second place I noticed that claimed Miki sustained a rib and not a knee injury.

#MUFC have been boosted by news that Mkhitaryan could face Denmark this w/e. The summer signing sustained a rib injury playing for Armenia

PR is usually very good on injury news.

Ashur · Sep 3, 2016

Apparently, it's neither a knee or a rib injury as originally believed but thigh muscle one and he could be out up to 10 days...

Ashur · Sep 3, 2016

My dear fans, I appreciate much that you worry about me, thank you! I'm now back in Manchester for treatment and hope to be fit very soon!

Terrible.

Marouane Fellaini will be available for this weekends derby following his recovery from a back problem. #MUFC

Back in training with Belgium, so that seems to confirm he's ok.
