Man Utd’s injury update ahead of FA Community Shield

Manchester United ended their 2023/24 season on a high after beating noisy neighbours Manchester City in the FA Cup final with a stunning 2-1 win at the Wembley Stadium. They have won the FA Cup 13 times, just one shy of record winners Arsenal.

Pep Guardiola’s side has featured in the last three Community Shield games and has lost every one of them. The Community Shield is set to take place at Wembley Stadium and City will be seeking to avenge their FA Cup final loss on Saturday, 10th August.

The squads for both teams are presently unknown, but a few key personnel will miss this crucial Manchester derby. Here’s a look at all you need to know regarding Man Utd’s injury update.

Which Manchester United players will miss the FA Community Shield? – Man Utd’s injury update

Leny Yoro

United’s new £59 million signing fractured his metatarsal in a pre-season game against Arsenal and has been ruled out for three months. The 18-year-old’s prolonged absence from the first-team means Harry Maguire or Victor Lindelöf will not be sold this summer. Last week, Yoro was seen using crutches and wearing a protective boot on his left foot.

Ramsus Hojlund

The Danish forward will also be sidelined for the next three to four weeks and will miss the start of the 2024/25 campaign. Hojlund who scored a goal against the Gunners suffered a hamstring injury.

Antony

The Brazilian who struggled to impress in the past 12 months is currently nursing an unspecified injury after he came off with a knock in the pre-season game against Arsenal. His availability in the Community Shield is a serious doubt as Ten Hag is still waiting to know the extent of his injury.

Tyrel Malacia

The 24-year-old Dutch defender has not played for Manchester United since May 2023 due to a knee injury that required two surgeries to correct and missed the entirety of the 2023/24 campaign. After playing 38 games in his debut campaign for the Red Devils, his second year at United without a single appearance.
