Exclusive: Patrick Dorgu injury update revealed

At a pivotal point in the season, Manchester United has been gaining ground, and confidence is now beginning to take the place of uncertainty.

At Old Trafford, confidence has increased due to excellent results, especially as the competition for Champions League qualifying heats up.

Patrick Dorgu sustained a hamstring injury during Manchester United’s thrilling 3-2 victory over Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium, meaning the team was without one of their most in-form players for the next weeks.

With an impressive long-range goal that proved crucial on the evening, the Denmark international completed an outstanding all-around effort in north London.

Dorgu missed the Red Devils’ last game against West Ham United, which was a 1-1 draw.

We can reveal an injury update on the Denmark international.

CentreDevils understands that Patrick Dorgu is making good progress on his recovery from injury and has been doing strength and conditioning work this week at Carrington.

The 21-year-old is working hard with the physios and is on track with his rehabilitation plan.

Before the Premier League clash against Fulham, interim coach Michael Carrick spoke on the injury.

“Pat, unfortunately, he’s going to be out for a period of time,” Carrick said.

“We’re still working through how long that’s going to be.

“We’ll have to see; [it’s] disappointing, he’s had such a big couple of weeks, Pat.

“We weren’t sure whether it was a little bit of cramp or whether it was something a little bit more serious, and at the moment it looks a little bit more on the serious note.

“So, it’ll be a few weeks for that. How many weeks? We’ll have to wait and see.

“So, that’s disappointing for all of us really, and for Pat, he’s in such a good place, but unfortunately it is part of football, and it’s something we’ve got to work through and get him back as soon as we can.”
