Manchester United defender Leny Yoro has been spotted putting in a protective boot with crutches after limping off against Arsenal during a pre-season friendly.
The Red Devils completed the signing of Yoro from Lille a few weeks ago for a fee worth £52million.
The defender had a positive impact in his first preseason game but suffered an unexpected injury in their second preseason game.
Yoro’s injury has put the Red Devils in a difficult situation and the defender may miss United’s start of the season.

Manchester United are also struggling with the fitness of Rasmus Hojlund after he sustained an injury against Arsenal.

However, Yoro and Hojlund return to the pitch as they start their injury recuperation is still to be determined.
Man United will face their rivals Man City in the Community Shield, one week before their Premier League debut.
