Man United statement on Wan-Bissaka’s injury

A club statement read as reported by Daily Mail, “‘Aaron Wan-Bissaka is set for a period on the sidelines after sustaining an injury during the closing stages of Saturday’s game against Brighton & Hove Albion.

“The right-back came on as an 85th-minute substitute, having started the game on the bench after battling illness during the week.

“Further assessment will be needed to determine how long Wan-Bissaka will be out for, but initial indications suggest it will be several weeks.”

In the first few weeks of the new season, United has struggled with injuries, especially in the defence with Wan-Bissaka, Luke Shaw, Raphael Varane, Lisandro Martinez, and Tyrell Malacia all injured.

New signings Mason Mount, Rasmus Hojlund, and Sofyan Amrabat have occasionally been absent and Victor Lindelof was forced to leave the game against Arsenal due to illness.

Mount participated in the first two games against Wolves and Tottenham but was absent from the subsequent three games.
