Amad Diallo has suffered an ankle ligament injury in training with Manchester United and could miss the rest of the season, sources told ESPN.
Amad, 22 years old, the leader of the Premier League of six goals from United, has been discarded from Ruben Amorim's team for Sunday's clash with Tottenham Hotspur and faces a scan to assess the total reach of the damage.
The reports have said that the Ivory Coast International will be sideways for the rest of this season, but the sources said it is still too early to say that Amad will not play again in this campaign.
But the best of cases at this stage is that Amad will come out, according to Fuentes, for several weeks, which will be a great blow to the hopes of the team to qualify for European football next season by winning the FA or Europa League Cup.
In a publication on social networks, Amad said: “Extremely disappointed to write this message at such a crucial moment of the season. Unfortunately, I will leave for some time with an injury.
“I will return stronger than ever! It's time to support children from outside. They still lack to play.”
Amad has become one of the few outstanding aspects of the United season since a regular initial position for Amorim was given after the appointment of the chief coach in November following the dismissal of Erik Ten Hag to the manager.
The former Atalanta young man signed a five -year contract in January as a reward for his performances, but his absence forced by injuries means that United now will have to trust the strikers out of Rasmus Højlund and Joshua Zirkzee for the objectives to keep them alive In the Cup competitions and ensure the results to improve the position of the team's league, which sees them go to the Spurs game in the lower half of the table.
The strikers Marcus Rashford and Antony left United in January in January, to Aston Villa and Real Betis, respectively, without the capacity to remember any of the players to boost the Amorim team.
