Details of Manchester United's youngster Alejandro Garnacho's injury have emerged, and it appears worse than first feared, as the 18-year-old could miss out on playing for Argentina's national team as well as missing up to 4-6 weeks of action.
TYC Journalist Gaston Edul made a report via his Twitter handle regarding Manchester United's youngster, who was subbed on in the second half of the 0-0 draw with Southampton on Sunday despite just coming in a few minutes earlier.
The 18-year-old was a victim of Kyle Walker-Peters' tackle, which saw him stay on the ground in pain. He had to be attended to by the team's medic before managing to continue his game, but Erik Ten Hag had to pull him out to avoid struggling in the final 10 minutes of the game while his side were already down to 10 men.
Erik Ten Hag during his post-match interview admitted the injury was bad; pictures of Alejandro Garnacho on clutches and with boots on his leg while leaving Old Trafford were already circulating the internet, but Gaston Edul claimed the injury was far worse than feared in his tweet on social media. However, he didn't give the exact time frame that the young Argentine will be out due to his injury.
Bad news: Alejandro Garnacho underwent studies and the injury is worse than expected. "The double date with the Argentine National Team would be lost.”
Another report from Diario Ole claims that the teenager has suffered a sprain of the fibula-astragalar ligament in his right ankle. He could possibly return in two weeks.
Manchester United could ask the youngster to withdraw from the Argentine national team, which would see him miss a potential international debut. However, it will keep him fit for the Red Devils' clash with Newcastle United in April. However, he will miss Manchester United's next few games, including Wednesday's FA Cup clash with Fulham.
Raphael Varane has expressed his delight with the duo of Facundo Pellistri and Alejandro Gernacho as he explains what they offer to the team. "They [Garnacho and Pellistri] have a lot of talent." They can bring speed to the pitch; they can create chances; they can create danger. "We need these kinds of players to make a difference," he explained.
