Ten Hag confirms five injury blow including Bruno Fernandes ahead of Tottenham clash
Bruno Fernandes is wearing a protective boot on his right ankle after suffering an injury on Sunday.
Manchester United defeated Brighton in a sudden-death penalty shootout at Wembley to set up the first-ever Manchester derby FA Cup final against Manchester City. However, it came at a cost as they sustained yet another injury.
Fernandes was making his comeback after missing the dismal 3-0 defeat to Sevilla in the Europa League due to suspension, but it appeared like his day would be cut short when he landed awkwardly in the first half and twisted his ankle. The Portuguese playmaker battled through agony to play the full 90 minutes before being replaced by Erik ten Hag in extra time.
An evaluation of the injuries was scheduled for Monday, but no official update on Fernandes’ health has been given. The 28-year-old was pictured leaving Wembley Stadium hobbling but without wearing a protective boot on Sunday evening, a piece of good news that no longer appears to be the case.
Ana Pinho, Fernandes’ wife, uploaded a snapshot of Fernandes on a sofa with his right leg elevated on a stack of pillows on her Instagram story on Monday evening. His foot was covered in a brace, and he was supported by a larger moon boot and crutches.
