"Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes picked up a rare injury during our 2-1 defeat against Aston Villa yesterday. With the score level while he was still on the pitch, he made way for Lisandro Martinez at half-time, before United went behind. Fernandes was seen walking out to the stands after half-time but reports have since suggested we should be without our captain for at least a month."
"I think it's soft tissue. So, it's going to take a while. We'll see. It is really strange. During this year, especially at this time, we have so many problems, but we have to cope with that. I think he is going to lose some games, but I don't know for sure. I don't want to talk about the matter, it is a guy who is always fit and he has shown he can always recover."
Bruno Fernandes suffered a rare soft-tissue injury during Manchester United's 2-1 defeat to Aston Villa and was substituted at half-time for Lisandro Martinez. He is expected to be sidelined for at least a month. Manager Ruben Amorim did not put a timeline and confirmed Fernandes would be out for a while, noting the club has had many problems this season. Amorim said Fernandes may miss some games but emphasized the player's usual fitness and ability to recover. Fernandes is set to miss fixtures against Newcastle, Wolves, Leeds, Burnley, Brighton and City, with a possible return at Arsenal at the end of January.
