Bruno Fernandes major injury details officially revealed

Bruno Fernandes, who joined Manchester United in 2020 from Sporting CP, has become a pivotal part of the Red Devils’ squad in recent years.

As captain of the first-team, the midfielder plays an important role in representing the club, as he did at a recent PFA meeting with the other 19 Premier League captains.

Meanwhile, as a midfielder, Fernandes also forms an important part of the spine of the Manchester United side and contributes goals towards the side.

Furthermore, the midfielder has also become a regular starter in Ruben Amorim’s starting eleven.

However, in Sunday’s clash against Aston Villa, Bruno Fernandes was taken off at half-time following the first-half where the midfielder could be seen holding his hamstring.

Fernandes was replaced by Lisandro Martinez and United went onto lose the match 2-1 due to a Morgan Rogers double either side of Matheus Cunha’s equaliser.

For Manchester United, this means that the club is three points away from fourth placed Chelsea going into the Boxing Day fixture against Newcastle United in the coming days.

Now, an update has emerged on the Manchester United captain and the details of his injury.

Speaking to the media following the loss against Aston Villa, Ruben Amorim stated: “It is soft tissue so it is going to take a while.”

With this update now revealed, it appears that the midfielder’s injury will cause the United captain to be out for a while, which is arguably major due to Fernandes being rarely missing from matches.

Furthermore, with this in mind, attention could turn towards fans to see how they react to this official announcement.

Meanwhile, attention could turn to Ruben Amorim to see if this will affect United’s January business and how he plans to replace the midfielder in the short-term while he is out.
