The 18-year-old defender was injured in the friendly match MU 1-2 Arsenal (Erik ten Hag’s team won 4-3 on penalties), on the US tour.
According to information from MU, Leny Yoro has begun the recovery process and is expected to regain physical strength after about 3 months.
Leny Yoro was highly expected by MU when he brought it back this summer, but Erik ten Hag’s plans were affected because the young Frenchman soon got injured and had to sit out for 3 months.
Thus, Yoro will miss the beginning of MU’s new season but will return to play around November.
Leny Yoro moved to Old Trafford from Lille, is MU’s second contract in this summer transfer, with an agreement valid until summer 2029, with the option to extend for another year.
The young French defender is expected to be a key player in Erik ten Hag’s squad in the new campaign. However, with Yoro soon suffering an injury, MU will have to wait longer to receive the services of this rookie.
Yoro played impressively in the MU 2-0 Rangers match, before suffering a foot injury and having to leave the field in the first half of the Red Devils’ match against Arsenal.
The fact that Leny Yoro has just arrived with a serious injury increases Erik ten Hag’s worries before the new season. On the US tour, in addition to Yoro, Hojlund also had to sit out for nearly a month, along with Wan-Bissaka, Jonny Evans, and Victor Lindelof.
