"Diogo Dalot called Bruno Fernandes' injury a "massive" blow as Manchester United wait to find out the severity of the skipper's setback. The ever-impressive 31-year-old has started every Premier League game for the Red Devils this season, scoring five goals and providing seven assists along the way. But United boss Ruben Amorim fears Fernandes will now be ruled out for "a while" due to a soft tissue injury that led to his withdrawal at half-time of Sunday's 2-1 loss at Aston Villa."
"Dalot, who took the captain's armband from his compatriot, then told MUTV: "We obviously were sad that Bruno came off. I think we found a way to keep in the game and try to find ways of playing, creating chances. "I think we still created enough to score more goals and let's hope that it's not too bad and then we have Bruno for the next games." While the prognosis is unclear, Amorim has already ruled Fernandes out of United's Boxing Day clash against Newcastle."
Bruno Fernandes suffered a soft tissue injury and was withdrawn at half-time of Manchester United's 2-1 loss at Aston Villa. He had started every Premier League game this season, scoring five goals and providing seven assists. Manager Ruben Amorim fears Fernandes could be ruled out "a while" and has already ruled him out of the Boxing Day match against Newcastle. Kobbie Mainoo is also injured, and up to seven first-team players could miss the next match. Several players are at the Africa Cup of Nations and other absences have prompted increased use of academy players for senior debuts.
