Manchester United's summer signing Leny Yoro, who joined from Lille for £52 million, underwent successful surgery on his left foot after injuring it in a friend match against Arsenal.
The 18-year-old defender, who made his debut with a win over Rangers, will be out for around three months. Yoro shared a message on social media expressing gratitude for the support and vowing to return stronger.
Manchester United will start their 2024-25 season this Sunday against neighbours Manchester City, whom they thrashed 2-1 in the 2024 FA Cup final at Wembley, without Yoro and with uncertainties regarding other centre-backs.
The 18-year-old Frenchman wrote on social media: 'This is not the start I wanted, but that's football… The operation went well. Thank you for your many messages of support. Now, time for patience and rehabilitation work. See you soon, stronger'.
