Injuries is something that has plagued Manchester United Football Club over the past few seasons.
Defence has arguably been the position that has been most affected by injury.
Leny Yoro got injured in pre-season and has been out for a significant period of time.
The likes of Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia have been perpetually injured over the past two seasons and has caused the club a headache in that position.
Harry Maguire suffered an injury in United’s last game and will also be missing for a while.
So the last thing that Erik ten Hag needs is another player out injured.
It seems like that is exactly what he has gotten.

Earlier this week, it was announced that both Kobbie Mainoo and Noussair Mazraoui have withdrawn from international duty with injury.
At the time, there wasn’t any further detail on how serious or how long each injury was.
We now have more detail on one of them.
Noussair Mazraoui has undergone surgery after experiencing heart palpitations.
It is believed to be a minor precautionary corrective procedure rather than anything serious and long term.
The Moroccan international is expected to make a full recovery and should be available for selection with a few weeks.
This likely will require a reshuffle at the back for United.
Diogo Dalot, who has been playing at left back this season, will likely be asked to move to right back while Mazraoui is out.
It will then need to be determined who will cover the left back position.
There are a few options.
Lisandro Martinez could step in there, with Matthijs de Ligt and Jonny Evans potentially playing in the centre back positions.
Or young Harry Amass could be asked to do a job there as a filler.
In any case, it seems that this is a relatively short term injury and Noussair Mazraoui will be back in the squad sooner rather than later.
Wishing Mazraoui the best of luck in his recovery from the procedure.
